SCHOOLS OF HOPE
Because all kids have potential.
High school algebra is more than just another math class. It’s
the key to lifelong problem-solving skills. Surprised? Consider this
fact: a low-income child who completes 10th-grade algebra has nearly
the same chance of going to college as a high-income peer who passes
the course. A higher education could break the cycle of poverty for
many kids in our community.
We know what you’re thinking: “What can I do about it?”
You can be a part of the solution. Right now, there is a 32 percent
gap between African-American and white students who have completed
algebra by the 10th grade. The Urban League of Greater Madison and
Centro Hispano of Dane Country are working to eliminate this gap for
African-American, Latino and Southeast Asian students, and you can
help by volunteering for the Schools of Hope Project.
As a Schools of Hope volunteer tutor, you will work one-on-one or
with small groups of middle-school students in the Madison Metropolitan
School District and the Sun Prairie School District for at least one
hour per week. Your time will help ensure that struggling students
are adequately prepared for high school math courses. Volunteers will
work with kids during the regular school day and after classes.
You don’t have to be a math expert to make a difference! All
you need is dedication, compassion and one hour each week for at least
one semester. Volunteers who are bilingual in Spanish, Hmong or Cambodian
are in high demand.
Interested? Apply to be a Schools of Hope volunteer!
You can also contact Daphne Brown at the Urban League of Greater Madison
at (608) 251-8550 x28.
The Wisconsin Alumni Association proudly supports Schools of Hope,
and we ask you to get involved because we care about our community.
Schools of Hope is sponsored by the Urban League of Greater Madison,
Madison School and Community Recreation, Centro Hispano of Dane County,
the United Way of Dane County, the City of Madison, the Madison Metropolitan
School District, the Sun Prairie School District and the Dane County
Department of Human Services.

Parents
MENTORING CONNECTIONS Mentoring Connections (MC) provides mentoring
services to children who have a parent incarcerated in prison. Madison-area
Urban Ministry will recruit, train and guide 70 volunteer mentors

Family Connections of Wisconsin (FC) and Big Brothers, Big Sisters
of Dane County (BBBS). They are joined by many other local organizations,
including Dane County Human Services, Circuit Court Judges, Urban
League of Greater Madison, state and local government agencies, and
the University of Wisconsin-Madison. These groups will provide additional
training, consultation, referral, and evaluation.
