Third Church’s Immigrant and Refugee Tutoring program began in 2005.

It has now grown to 125 students in all school grades from PreK-12 receiving one-on-one help on homework assignments.

Currently most students come from Arabic-speaking families, but we have a growing number of Afghan families and others from Africa and Latin America.

We invite you to be a part of this special program!
