Volunteers and staff are here to help each member to realize their full academic potential, to help them complete homework assignments, and to offer additional tutoring.
Educational EnrichmentEnrichment activities are educational and fun! Our youth members learn concepts in math, science, and literacy through fun activities like quiz bowl, educational games, science club, and more.

A partnership with Wilson Daily Prep provides teens with SAT and ACT preparation in an online format every day.

College ExplorationWeekly programs are designed to help teens explore college options, learn about college life, and prepare for the experience.
