The Richmond Jewish Coalition for Literacy (RJCL) is a group of volunteers organized through the Jewish Community Federation of Richmond which pairs students with a volunteer (mentor) with the goal of enabling these children to become more secure in their learning.
RJCL mentors at the following schools:
Swansboro Elementary School: 3160 Midlothian Turnpike, Richmond, VA 23224
Laburnum Elementary School: 500 Meriwether Ave, Richmond, VA 23222
New mentors are always welcome! Please contact JCFR Director of Community Impact and Planning Sara Rosenbaum at srosenbaum@jewishrichmond.org or (804) 545-8629.
Each summer, the Richmond Jewish Coalition for Literacy Mentors and community members collect supplies for students at both Laburnum Elementary and Swansboro Elementary as they return to school.
If you would like to be involved in the future, please contact Sara Rosenbaum at 804-545-8629 or srosenbaum@jewishrichmond.org
