From an email:

“With the school year underway, there’s no better time to get involved as a volunteer tutor or mentor. Two out of three students in DC read below grade level, and many more have additional academic and social-emotional needs. The need is real and urgent. Sign up to tutor, read with a child, or simply provide a listening ear for as little as an hour per week. DCTMI is eager to match you with one of our 40+ partner organizations based on your preferences and availability.

Opportunities include…

  • Fostering a student’s love of reading during lunch at a local elementary school

  • Coaching a high schooler through the college application process

  • Mentoring a foster child through monthly outings and weekly communication

  • Corresponding with incarcerated youth

  • And many more!”

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
