For more than 30 years, Northstar Tutoring ( www.northstartutoring.org) has provided free one-on-one tutoring and mentoring services for low-income Pre-K -12th grade students in the Washington, D.C. area. Partnering with local schools, community centers and the DC Public Library System, we strive to provide the academic support and personal attention that our students need to thrive academically and emotionally. To help students catch up on core subjects over the summer, Northstar is partnering with The Latin American Youth Center to provide tutoring/educational games to their summer camp attendees. Volunteers will help students brush up on their math and reading skills while also engaging in fun activities like arts and crafts and board games. We will be working with students on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30-11:30 am. Please note that volunteers are welcome to sign up for part of the time and do not have to do both days! Volunteers are also able to request a specific age range to work with (students will be in grades K-7th). To sign up or for more information, please contact Jennifer Townsend at JTownsend@northstartutoring.org. Thank you for supporting DC students this summer!

For more than 30 years, Northstar Tutoring’s mission has been to help low-income and underserved K-12th grade students in the D.C. area reach their full potential by overcoming barriers to personal and academic success. We achieve this by matching students with their own volunteer tutor/mentor who helps them once a week to complete their homework, study for upcoming tests/quizzes or work on supplemental education materials. During the summer break we continue tutoring to ensure that students are not only avoiding the 'summer slump' of learning loss, but that they can advance in the subjects they struggle the most with. Since the students don’t have homework, we prepare educational packets for each student to work on with their tutor during each session. The summer sessions are July 11th-August 10th and we meet with students on Tuesday and Thursdays (most volunteers sign up for just one night but you are of course welcome to do both!) from 6:30-8:00 pm at the Hyattsville Teen Center (3911 Hamilton St. Hyattsville, MD) A few additional facts: Once the summer session is over, if you want to continue with the tutoring program, we can keep you with the same student into the upcoming school year No previous teaching experience is required (approximately 90% of volunteers have never taught/tutored before) We work with students in grades K-12 and volunteers can request a specific age range to be matched with Volunteers must be at least 18 years old to participate Please consider making a difference in a Hyattsville student’s life this summer!
