I have a ten year old (girl) attending this program and it has been phenomenal. When she came to live with me and originally started the program, she was two years behind, in 2nd grade, but performing on a Kindergarten 1 month level. She was unable to recognize her sight words. She was terrified of reading and would cry. The team at SmarterMe jumped right in, made her feel comfortable and had her take an assessment. Once they understood her level they determined which area would best serve her and she was given an action plan. She is responsible for reading each day and writing a summary to show that she understand what she has read, which also helps her writing skills. This is her second year in the program and she is now reading above level! What an awesome transformation. In addition to the fundamentals, SmarterMe rewards the students wtih activities, music, fun events and more. The cost for this program is very minimal and well worth it!! I donate when I can because they keep the cost so low to reach everyone. I will be sad is too old to attend as the help from SmarterMe has been invaluable to our family! The team is very approachable and the program is very safe - I asked all of the pertinent questions, which were promptly welcomed and answered by the staff.

My daughter always had problems reading on her grade level. She has always been reading a couple grades lower than her grade and hated reading. I've had private tutors and read every night with her. Since she has been taking the SmarterMe class she loves reading and for the first time on her report card received great grades in reading. The staff at SmarterMe really care for the students and is a very positive part of my daughters Saturday mornings.

This program is such a rewarding experience to attend every week. It is so nice to come every Saturday and see such beautiful children, ready to learn. This program has rewarded me with the awesome experience of getting to help children in and out of my community. Next Generation Focus is truly an amazing experience for both student and tutor!

Volunteering at NGF is the best part of my week! Each Saturday, the children are eager to learn and ask questions. Week after week, I get to watch them progress and excel. The tutors and staff are dedicated to make sure that every child has a chance at success. Volunteering at Next Generation Focus has by far been the most heartwarming experience of my life and I am truly blessed to be a part of the team!

NGF is an exceptional program for children who do not like to read or have difficulty in reading. The staff takes the time to help them in a fun and exciting way. The children enjoy coming to the sessions and are eager to read because it is a great time. There are times when they do not want to leave. I think this is a wonderful program and is helping so many children and they will remember this time through out their life.

It's a humbling experience to witness the dedication and generosity of our volunteers, staff, students, and parents. I love coming to NGF every Saturday to get my week's worth of smiles, hugs, and inspiration. It's hard sometimes, but at the end of each Saturday, I'm energized by the enthusiasm of our teen tutors and our volunteer teachers, heartened by the perseverance and desire of the parents to help their children, and encouraged by the progress of our students. I can't think of a better way to spend my Saturdays.

I've witnessed the growth of NGF since the very beginning. The impact that NGF makes on the community is tangible and immediate. We receive overwhelmingly positive feedback from our students, volunteers, parents, and school officials. I'm proud to be a part of NGF and am constantly inspired by the dedication of the staff and volunteers.
