The Rogers Public Library's program, “Bilingual Teens as Teachers and Tutors,” will have Americorps volunteers train bilingual teens to serve as tutors and role models to elementary school children who need help learning English. Many of the children involved are from Spanish-speaking homes of migrant families who do not frequently use the public library. The program's goal is to help children improve their language skills, self-confidence and cultural awareness-allowing them to succeed in school.
