Tutors meet with the family in the home every other week for ten weeks. In addition, there are five group meetings where families and tutors work together at learning centers and interact with other families. Teachers are matched with a family and plan a curriculum based on the family's individual needs and interests. Some past family projects have included writing a family history and using family pictures for a slide show, a mother and her teenager studying for the driver's test together, and parents learning to use a particular reading program to help their children at home. This is a home-based program held once a week for eight weeks.
Families usually request more than one session.
This program matches middle and high school students with Hispanic adults in the community. The adults share their academic and professional experiences with the child in a series of home visits. Each meeting has an educational theme, such as applying for summer study programs or setting semester goals. Mentors offer suggestions to the families about how the youth can explore their interests. Also, a group meeting is held each month for all of the participants.
