Become a volunteer through DC Tutoring & Mentoring Initiative!
Join us this Saturday, January 20 at the Petworth library or this Sunday, January 21 at the Josephine Butler Parks Center in Columbia Heights to learn more about how you can get involved. Both events are from 11 a.m.-12 p.m.
Meet some of our 50+ nonprofit partner organizations working in Columbia Heights and Petworth and meet your neighbors! Let’s work together to make a vibrant, safe, and equitable community for all!
Can we build a vibrant, caring, and welcoming community where everyone has a chance to thrive? We believe we can!
Here’s a starting point: If 12% of adults got involved 1-2 hours a week as tutors or mentors, every student who needs extra academic support or a special “big brother or sister” would have at least one extra caring adult in their lives.
And if that happened, the majority of the 2 out of 3 D.C. students — 65,000 kids — reading below grade level might be able to catch up. And if that happened, many of the 40,000 students considered chronically absent would regain a sense of hope that they can keep up in their classes or that there are caring adults who support them, and they would be more likely to stop skipping school.
And if that happened, youth crime would go down and all of us would feel like we live in a safer community where we could treat one another as friends instead of as people to fear. And if that happened, we would all feel happier!

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
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.
