Dan Rodricks鈥� recent column (聽March 3) as well as Roberta E. Sabin鈥檚 letter to the editor about Baltimore City Public Schools鈥� test scores (聽March 10) illustrate a key question: What can community members do to support our city鈥檚 future leaders?

My answer: Volunteer with evidence-based programs proven to support student learning.

As the executive director of 成人快播, a children鈥檚 literacy nonprofit providing one-on-one tutoring to Baltimore elementary school students, volunteering is the heart of our program. It鈥檚 how we鈥檙e able to serve hundreds of students each year, create trusting relationships between students and adults and build lifelong readers. And oftentimes that volunteering starts with Roberta鈥檚 simple sentiment: 鈥淚鈥檓 eager to help.鈥�

I鈥檇 encourage any community member upset by the educational inequities in our city, those only widened by the pandemic, to use their time toward empowering students. Join 成人快播 or other organizations across the city in this important work because we know that literacy is not just the gateway to educational excellence but to excellence throughout each facet of life.
