History of the Augustine Project

The Augustine Project was founded in 1994 by Holy Family Episcopal
Church in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  In 2001, three women --  Becky Clingman, Susan Uphoff and Trudy Winstead -- replicated the project in Winston-Salem with the help of St. Paul's Episcopal Church.  The Augustine Project/Winston-Salem continues as an important outreach mission of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. In addition, many other individuals, schools, churches and other civic groups have joined St. Paul's as tutors, donors, supporters and advocates. The program has grown from 5 tutors and students to appoximately 50 tutor-student pairs in 2010.  Over 100 students have now been served in the Winston-Salem area.

Awards and Recognition

In October 2010, The Women's Fund of Winston-Salem awarded the Augustine Project an 18-month grant to support its new program Literate Girls (LG).


In April 2009, the Augustine Project/Winston-Salem received a North Carolina Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service.  This award, coordinated locally on behalf of the Governor's office, was given to recognize the outstanding work and dedication of our Augustine tutors.

Thank you
We are so grateful for all those in the Augustine family who support our vital mission by tutoring, donating or serving as board members. We like to say, "Tutor one child. Change two lives."
