The Refugee and Immigrant Tutoring program, started in 2005, assists area immigrant students in their academic success by helping them with homework assignments.
Most of our students are fairly proficient in English, but often their parents are not, so they are very grateful for the one-on-one support. No experience is necessary, training and resources are provided, so please consider serving!

September 10 - November 19, 2025
January 14 - March 25, 2026

WHO DOES THIS PROGRAM SERVE?
