We know that nothing can replace a strong and engaged community in a child’s life. That’s why the Center for Black Excellence is building up a database of volunteers.

As we continue to build out our work, we ask anyone interested in volunteering as a tutor, reader, mentor, event worker–or any other role you can think of that we might need–to fill out a form to stay in our network.
