==Details==
Ozanam has partnered with Duquesne University (PACT) Program, Clarion University and Garfield Jubilee Association to provide academic support and learning services that will be offered to all participants throughout the school year. Academic awards are presented to all youth who maintain a 2.5 grade point average.
Ozanam promotes and offers tutoring through our collaboration with Duquesne Project for Academic Coaching Through Tutoring (PACT) which began in 1990 as a community outreach and service learning project of the Duquesne University Learning Skills Center. Organized to provide after-school and Saturday-morning tutoring to children residing in the Hill District community, the project was expanded in 1997 when an infusion of federal funds allowed the inclusion of in-school and after-school tutoring throughout Pittsburgh and surrounding communities.
Ozanam creates value by developing a culture of inner city youth, led by role models and mentors, who make it socially acceptable to receive tutoring and mentoring support and to succeed academically. Ozanam plans to promote the use of Tutoring through our collaboration with Duquesne, Clarion and GJA. Ozanam plans to expand the Tutoring/Mentoring program through our efforts to partner with other Academic Support Services throughout the Pittsburgh area. Our goal is to provide academic support for all those who want, desire or need it.
