On weekdays, academic volunteers work one-on-one with students on a daily enrichment curriculum which focuses on the basics of literacy and math as well as college and career preparation and daily homework assignments. On Saturdays, academic volunteers assist with nutrition, life skills and more. No prior tutoring or squash experience is required.
