Frontier College Working With Teens Working With Teens Frontier College works with community-based groups and organizations to set up Homework Clubs for teenagers. Tutors and students meet at least once a week.
Many young people face challenges with literacy and homework assignments.
There is a great need for caring tutors to encourage and assist students. Frontier College staff facilitate workshops where volunteers are taught the SCIL method of teaching. SCIL is based on working from the learner's prior knowledge and demonstrated strengths. While Frontier College provides training and resources for the volunteer tutors, the community organizations recruit and support the tutors and students. All it takes for a homework club to happen is a handful of committed volunteers and a location.
