Is there any cost to the program? 

No. It is entirely free.

Independent computer work can be completed from home if the student has their own computer and Internet connection. 

​

All classes and tutoring are in person. 

​

All students must be able to come into the building as needed for testing and/or paperwork. 

How long does it take to complete the program?

Our program runs from July1-June 30 every year. At the end of the year, you will have the choice if you would like to exit or continue working here.

​

Since all students are different, we cannot estimate how long it will take to meet your personal goals. 

What is the schedule? 

Reading/math/ESL: Students commit to participating 4-5 hours per week of independent computer work, tutoring, classes, and/or homework. ​Schedules will be determined based on student and instructor availability within our open office hours, Monday-Thursday, 10 am - 8 pm.

​

GED: Classes are from 5-8 pm on Mondays and Tuesdays. 

​

We are a year-round program, but our building closes for major holidays. 

Do you offer GED classes? 

We offer GED classes at our satellite classroom at St. Suzanne Cody Rouge Community Resource Center. Please sign up for an orientation.  

How long is the waiting list for tutors? 

Last year the average wait time for a tutor was three months. Your wait time may vary depending on your availability and tutor availability. Students will be removed from the tutoring wait list if they are not participating fully in computer work.

Who are the tutors? 

Our tutors are volunteers of all ages and backgrounds who want to share their love of learning. All tutors receive ongoing training to ensure high standards.
