COVID-19 Update
In response to the San Mateo County shelter-in-place order, the Redwood City School District is implementing distance learning. Unfortunately, therefore, our in-class middle-school tutoring program has been put on hold until next year. We are actively recruiting for tutors for the 2020-21 school year. If you're interested in volunteering next year, please read the information below and fill out our "Volunteer Now" form.
