Many of the students in our program that are in high school have received ACT scores of around 16. They are capable of receiving a much high score, but are unable to pay for prep classes and schools do not provide adequate free prep courses.
If you have a passion for helping students excel in Math, English, and Science on the ACT, please consider tutoring a small group of high school students that are currently trying to study on their own using YouTube videos and some books from home.
You can make a real difference in the life of a student and their future!
We have sessions on Tuesdays 6-8pm and Saturdays 10am-noon at the Neighborhood House of Milwaukee

Mission Statement
SEA Literacy uplifts the lives of refugee students in the Milwaukee area by empowering them to become engaged members of this diverse, dynamic community. Our goal is to foster social and educational development, thus creating community leaders and inspiring future generations. We are also committed to providing the Milwaukee community the opportunity to reach out to their new neighbors and strengthen harmony in our city!
Description
SEA Literacy (SEAL) provides year-round ESL lessons, homework tutoring, and recreational activities to refugee youth grades kindergarten through college. We meet on Tuesday evenings 6-8 pm and Saturdays mornings 10 am- 12 and we also go on field trips and have special events throughout the year. Children in this program attend by choice; they want to learn because they want to learn English, do better in the classroom and meet other kids. This is an advantage of volunteering here; you can see immediate improvement! SEAL focuses on helping refugee students, who have been in the US anywhere from a month to a few years, to help them be more fluent in English and more connected with peers and society. As a volunteer you will be helping the students read, learn and speak English, play games, work on STEM or art projects and/or assist them in doing their homework. If you have a skill you can teach (kids LOVE chess but need teachers, some taught knitting, etc.) we would love to work with you!
