The ongoing pandemic has taken a toll on all of us, particularly on students furthest from opportunity. Tutoring has been proven as one of the most effective ways to help students supplement math and literacy skills learned in the classroom.
By volunteering as a tutor, you will bring back the human connection, attention and support D.C. students need to succeed.
Check out five reasons why you should volunteer as a tutor in D.C.:
- Connect with students — Form bonds that will keep you coming back every week. You’ll quickly see how the students can impact your life as well.
- Engage with your community — Meet others who are also passionate about making a difference.
- Use your knowledge — Miss your geometry class? Not really using that English degree? Put your passion and skills to good use.
- Tutoring is convenient and flexible — CityTutor DC partners offer both virtual and in-person tutoring options to impact the next generation of leaders in D.C.
- Gain new skills — Receive training on how to tutor students with a special emphasis on catering to each individual student’s needs.
Organizations throughout D.C. are recruiting hundreds of tutors — sign up with CityTutor DC to be matched with one!

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
