Publicity Page . The Corps trains students to work with young children, adolescents, and adults to increase literacy within the community. The purpose of the program is to provide tutors and mentors who will be there for the students on a consistent basis. This program has run since the beginning of the SLC, and through it real friendships have been made and much has been learned.
Volunteers choose one, or as many days as they wish, to tutor each week.

During the afternoon, the community center at the Courtyard holds after school programs for 8-14 year olds.

They work with the kids on reading, writing, and arithmetic skills, help with homework, and play games at the end of the day.
