Gail Parker, Director
Approximately seventy-five students a year receive one-on-one individualized tutoring in reading during the school day at Brown Memorial Church. The program's role is to help students improve their reading and to awaken in them a love of reading and a healthy self-image. It is our belief that a lifetime of literacy begins in the early years. Tutors receive excellent training throughout the year in various methods and techniques, including a multi-sensory approach for dyslexic students. |

The agency’s Children’s Services division is headquartered in the historic Rolando-Thom House at Bolton and Lanvale Streets. Services at the Lanvale Street office includes recruitment and training of foster and adoptive families for hard-to-place children who are in need of a loving permanent family: medically fragile infants (HIV+ or drug or alcohol addicted babies), older children and sibling groups. |
