Jacari Bristol

Jacari's mission is to improve the prospects of local children living in deprived areas by building up their confidence, and improving their educational prospects. We work with children who do not have English as a first language (EAL). Many of our beneficiaries are refugees or immigrants. Jacari Bristol works with a committed team of volunteers from Bristol University. Our volunteers are trained to become tutors, and are then matched with a child in the local area. The child then receives weekly tuition in their home, to improve their attainment at school, as well as their overall confidence and language skills. We also run enrichment events, like trips to museums, so that the children can enjoy activities with their tutor which they might otherwise not have access to.
