Tutoring for homeless children

Guilford College - NC, North Carolina

Each semester, thirty volunteers and service-learning students at Guilford College tutor homeless children five days a week. Two tiers of student leadership have kept the program running for five years. A leadership team oversees the daily operation of the program, while three student liaisons discuss the children s strengths and weaknesses with their elementary school teachers and relay the information to the children s parents and to Guilford tutors.

Campus Compact is such a wonderful force for progress in academic service-learning. I really think that we would be nowhere near where we are today in higher education without your efforts."
