Children's Programs – Tutoring
Neighborhood Tutoring
Neighborhood tutoring is an after school program for neighborhood
children in which they receive one-on-one tutoring with one of the
volunteers twice a week. This is one of the largest work-study programs
in the country and has been nationally recognized by former President
Clinton.
Foster Care
Foster Care tutoring aims to provide children with committed
tutors who assists in academic, social, and emotional growth. Both
the student and the child have the opportunity to build a trusting
relationship. La Salle students help to illustrate that attending
college is an attainable goal. Occasionally, children and their
tutors take educational trips.
San Miguel
La Salle students work in an after-school program with
at-risk middle school students at San Miguel, a Christian Brothers
school in Camden, NJ. Goals include homework help, computer assistance,
and being able to listen to the students' needs and concerns.
