Vision of the Embudo Valley Tutoring Association
The vision of the Embudo Valley Tutoring Association, is to create a community where every child has an equal chance to succeed in higher education, even with learning challenges, economic disadvantage, or lack of support from parents. The organization would like to create a group of trained dyslexia tutors who can be assigned to rural schools and programs in north central New Mexico, to specifically assist in improving interventions for children with reading disabilities.
The mission of the EVTA is to
*provide free tutoring support to children in financial need in a rural area where the child poverty rate hovers close to 30%.
*provide tutoring to children in rural areas requesting support on a sliding fee scale, based on financial need.
*help reduce the high school drop out rate by helping rural students become proficient readers and acquire foundational math skills in the primary years.
*strengthen the quality of education by providing trained tutors to rural schools and programs between Taos and Velarde.
*help dyslexic and other learning disabled students succeed by training tutors to provide specialized support.
