Tutoring A tutorial program provides individual remedial tutoring services in basic math and reading skills. While the program focuses on assisting the youth in bringing their skills up to grade level, the program also provides mentoring, support and community exposure to those youth involved.
Tutors also provide in-community role modeling and help youth to link to educational opportunities.

Service providers emphasize the need for employment readiness training, workplace experience at as young an age as possible, continuing opportunities for skills development and ongoing education regarding workplace expectations and environments.
