The Youth Tutoring Program offers after-school tutoring to Chicago Public School students, ages 6-18 years who are failing or at risk of failing in math and reading. Students work with committed volunteers on math, reading, writing, and other academic subjects. The program both individual tutoring and group tutoring with an emphasis on long-term one-on-one tutoring. Often, a child works with a single tutor for one or more years. The parent is an important partner, in close communication with both the child and the tutor. Students develop their academic and leadership skills further by participating in the program's Youth Leadership Group and special workshops in study skills, test preparation, and career planning.
