Lacking financial resources to seek help, some students are falling behind in school, unable to remain at grade level.  Team Lamed was established to meet the needs of these middle and high school age children by pairing them up with volunteer tutors.

Our Program:

Jewish Family Service and Yad Ezra clients who need tutoring services contact the staff coordinator of Team Lamed.  The student will be matched with a volunteer tutor who shares a passion for seeing a child succeed in school.  Introductory sessions for volunteers and ongoing support and follow-up are provided. 

The Process:

JFS and Yad Ezra case managers will notify their clients, who are prescreened for financial need, that Team Lamed volunteers are available to help struggling middle and high school students.  Clients will contact Team Lamed directly, and a volunteer tutor will be matched with their child to help them achieve scholastic success.

For information on volunteering or requesting a volunteer tutor, contact JCRC's literacy coordinator Linda Foster (email foster@jfmd.org or phone 248-642-2656).
