Welcome to Bristol Community Organization, Inc.!

The agency hoped, in effect, to eliminate the cause and conditions of poverty. 
Today, the Bristol Community Organization, Inc., BCO, is a private non-profit community action agency serving the young, the elderly, the handicapped and economically disadvantaged individuals and families in the Greater Bristol area! Towns serviced include: Burlington, Plymouth, Bristol, Forestville and Farmington.

Retired & Sr. Volunteer Program (RSVP) Sponsors Tutor Training

The Retired & Sr. Volunteer Program (RSVP) is recruiting tutors for Bristol Public School children. Persons 55 and older, retired or working who enjoy being with children are encouraged to come to a one hour tutor training. The next training is Tuesday October 23, 2007 at Hubbell School .

They will learn that tutoring need not be a big time commitment but can positively impact an underachieving student. Typically tutors meet for one hour with the student one to two times per week. This training is co-sponsored by Bristol Public Schools.

Register for tutor training by calling Pat Malone at 860-584-9533, Monday-Friday 8:30-4:30 pm .
