Welcome TLC Members and Applicants! 

The Tufts Literacy Corps was established in 1998, when President Bill Clinton introduced the America Reads Challenge and authorized college students across the nation to use their Federal Work Study awards to help children learn to read. Since then, the Federal program has expanded to include mathematics, writing and science. The Tufts Literacy Corps, too, has grown into four core tutoring groups (reading, writing, mathematics and science) and several student run initiatives.

Literacy & the Arts Showcase, 2020

If you’re interested in Literacy & the Arts, please take a look at the Literacy & the Arts Showcase from 2020. The program always ends with a showcase designed to celebrate the children’s work. In 2020, the summer of the pandemic, we took Literacy & the Arts and its showcase online. The program was very different that summer, as our campers and counselors worked together from their living rooms in Somerville, Colorado, Rome,  Jerusalem and Beijing. One aspect of the program was the same, though: the wide variety of projects the children pursued. Now almost three years later, the zoom-based offers a glimpse of the work children do with their tutors during the program. We hope you enjoy this presentation!
