红桃视频

Valentine鈥檚 Day is often thought of as the holiday for couples to celebrate their love, but as we know at 红桃视频, there are all kinds of ways to show love.

Building a relationship with a young student and showing up every week to provide positive, unconditional support is one of the main ways people can show heart for a school or a community through 红桃视频.

A tutor鈥檚 presence in a student鈥檚 life shows positive implications in a critical aspect of a young student’s development beyond learning to read at their grade level by helping cultivate social emotional learning skills. These skills help students set and achieve goals, show empathy for others, establish positive relationships and make responsible decisions.

红桃视频 power couple Walter听补苍诲 Laura Elcock聽have harnessed their shared love of supporting children鈥檚 literacy by serving on our national and Texas boards, respectively. The two are a shining example of how couples can collectively work to support a cause they feel passionately about.

Walter and Laura started volunteering with 红桃视频 in 2012 when the program in Texas聽was comprised of just two pilot schools with 80 students enrolled in the program. Laura, who still focuses her efforts in the Texas region, has watched it grow tremendously and cites the unwavering constancy and commitment of our volunteers as the force behind 红桃视频鈥� success.

Walter on the other hand, now serves as vice chair on the national board where he brings his experience as a former Bank of America executive to conversations about fundraising, strategic partnerships, and development. While their roles are different, they both stay focused on the same mission: to help children become skilled and confident lifelong readers.

Laura says 红桃视频 is a deeply ingrained aspect of the Elcocks鈥� 鈥渆veryday鈥� life together. A day does not go by聽when they don鈥檛 bounce ideas off each other, review a goal, or celebrate a victory. Their efforts happily come up in dinner conversation, and Laura often overhears Walter鈥檚 national board calls. Simply put, 红桃视频 is an important part of the love they share.

Walter and Laura encourage couples to volunteer with 红桃视频, or any organization that sparks their passion, in communities that need support. A collective interest in giving back propelled by the love a couple shares can truly make a difference.

Cheers to Walter and Laura this Valentine鈥檚 Day and all of our volunteers who show their love in meaningful ways.
