My Project

I offer after school math tutoring for students who need intervention and want to improve their grade and understanding. This is a small group, and each student has specific goals. Coming to tutoring is optional, so the students who attend are taking charge of their math education.

I am also the Dream 2 Teach mentor at my building.

This is a diverse group of students who are exploring the field of teaching and participating in service around our school and community. We meet twice per month and often until 5pm. We work on community-based projects at our school and for a local group that works with a homeless camp.

I would like to provide these students with a snack after school. Many are often hungry and focus better when they have a snack. I have been using my own money for this all-school year and would love some donations.
