TUTORING CENTER

As our flagship program of thirty years, the St. John’s Tutoring Center (TC) is a safe, caring and respectful community providing after school academic and enrichment programming for youth. The Tutoring Center operates at Marshall Elementary School, primarily serving young people ages 5 to 11 with additional leadership & mentoring opportunities for youth 12 – 18. Youth who participate in the TC develop a sense of self–confidence in their ability to learn, to speak their voice– and to contribute to their community.
