Mobile Tutoring
Although it is one of HOPE's youngest programs, Mobile Tutoring
has grown to include three tutoring opportunities for Georgetown
students.
One of our programs partner with Catholic
Charities in downtown D.C. The other is part of CAG, the Community
Action Group, affiliated with the Holy Comforter/St. Cyprian parish
in southeast D.C. Unlike many other HOPE programs, MT is a semester-long
commitment to visit
one
of
our tutoring
sites
once a week and offer services for GED programs, literacy training,
and other studies.
Tuesdays and Thursdays 6:00 - 9:00 PM
Catholic Charities
On Tuesday and Thursday evenings (from 6:00 -9:00 pm, including
travel time), our groups travel by Metro to the Catholic Charities
Downtown
Family Center to assist with a GED course. Generally, Tuesdays are
focused on Math and Thursdays on Writing, but the topics covered
may
vary depending on the students' needs. Most tutors are matched with
an adult that he or she will work with throughout the semester,
and
others work with individuals in the classrooms.
Upcoming Project Dates:
September 19, 26
October 3, 10, 17, 24, 31
November 7, 14, 21, 28
December 5, 12
Tuesdays, 6:45 - 9:00 PM
Community Action Group
Jenni Zocca and Luis Capuchina
This group provides free
counseling and rehabilitation for women dealing with substance abuse
in an environment that would allow them to live with their children.
They need our help to obtain GED certification and become computer
literate among other things. We offer them any kind of academic enrichment
possible, which can be anything from the basics of reading and math
to philosophical discussions. We also are able to work with the children,
helping them with their homework or playing education games. We meet
at the front gates at 6:45pm on Tuesdays (starting September 20th),
travel to the centers, tutor from 7:30 to 8:30pm and are back on
campus by 9:00 pm. While a weekly commitment is encouraged, it is
not required. Meet at the Front Gates.
Please contact either Joe
or Jenni and Luis (CAG) for more information or to sign up.
