Our services are structured around the understanding that
great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention and that strong
writing skills are fundamental to future success. With this understanding in
mind, we provide drop-in tutoring, field trips, after-school workshops,
in-schools tutoring, help for English language learners, and assistance with
student publications.
All of our free programs seek to strengthen each student's
power to express ideas effectively, creatively, confidently, and in his or her
individual voice.
