Access Youth Academy, a 501(c)(3) youth enrichment program, partners with The Preuss School UCSD to serve 50 students from low-income communities in San Diego. Our mission is to break the cycle of poverty by providing the necessary supports to apply and graduate from a four year university. We accomplish this by empowering youth to excel through our program combining academic support, community service, and the sport of squash.

Access Youth Academy needs tutors from 3:00 to 5:00pm (1 hour commitment or 2 hours), Monday through Friday, at RIMAC on the UCSD campus.

Our students range from 7th to 12th grade, so the Math levels vary. (Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Calculus, Pre-Calculus, and AP Calculus). Becoming a tutor is a great way to get involved with the communities of San Diego and provide academic support for youth from low-income families. It is also a great opportunity to gain experience working with youth in an educational environment.
