Many Villages
Many Villages is a program that provides valuable support to students in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District. Since 2005, Many Villages has been actively engaging community volunteers called Practice Partners to offer one-on-one tutoring services within schools. The Many Villages Practice Partners are committed to providing educational support for all students. To date Reaching Heights Many Villages Practice Partners have contributed more than 1,200 hours, benefiting over 140 students annually.
​
In addition to in-school tutoring, Reaching Heights Many Villages offers a valuable out-of-school tutoring option at Noble Neighborhood Branch Library. This provides a fantastic opportunity for students to receive additional help in a supportive and resource-rich environment. Whether your child needs extra help during the school day or prefers after-school sessions, we’ve got them covered!
“I was able to provide extra focused intervention for kids that had critical needs, and provided another caring adult for a kid that struggled with behavior/emotional issues.”

Enthusiastic individuals who can commit as little as one hour, one day per week, to as much as two hours, four days per week, are always needed. Volunteer Coordinator positions called Practice Partner Coordinators are limited and assigned. Training takes place prior to the start of the academic year; however, new Practice Partners can be added throughout the year. Although no experience is required, we do ask that volunteers be dependable, flexible, and willing to submit to a criminal background check.
We invite you to become a part of this transformative program. We are also looking for your help to recruit additional volunteers for both in-school and after-school opportunities. This year the in-school program began on October 1st and ends on May 15th, while the out-of-school program started on September 3rd and will also end on May 15th.
"We not only see results with the students academically growing but having an adult who takes time to care is a priceless gift."
