Who We Are

ACTS was incorporated as a faith-based non-profit agency. We are registered in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.

Our History

Helping others is not a job, it is a calling

  • Where It All Began

    It started with an idea… It is the mission of ACTS to provide free one-to-one tutoring and mentoring to the elementary children of Springfield, in the Spirit of Christ.

  • Every Child Counts

    ACTS seeks to serve elementary school children of Springfield who need some extra help in reading and/or math. The service is provided free on a one-to-one basis with a caring volunteer.

  • We help children - One at a time...

    ACTS may not be able to meet any special needs that your child may have. However, if you are the parent of an elementary school child in Springfield in need of tutoring, please print the application form, complete it and return it to: ACTS – 35 Chestnut Street Springfield, MA 01103

  • It all began with a trip to Philadelphia

    It all began with a youth group trip from the Evangelical Covenant Church in Springfield to Philadelphia to work with Tony and Bart Campolo and their ministry in Bartram Village. The students returned home with a desire to share the love of Christ in their own community.

  • ACTS was created for children...

    ACTS was incorporated as a faith-based non-profit agency. We are registered in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.

  • There is Good in The World

    ACTS is led by a dedicated volunteer Board of Directors. All are education and other professionals coming together to make Springfield a better community by supporting students and helping them to succeed.
