Free Independent School Education? Volunteering at the Go Project
by Colette
Over the weekend, myself and one other member of our group visited the Go Project which takes place at independent schools around New York City. One of them being LREI. Every Saturday, students who are financially struggling come to LREI and other independent schools to be tutored by experienced teachers and volunteers. The Go Project supports and tutors kids K-3rd Grade who are struggling with certain topics. Most teachers working at underserved schools don’t care about the success of their students, but kids who come to the Go Project will be provided with people who care and love for the kids. Teachers lead classes while volunteers tutor and create a relationship with the kids. My other member and I were appointed to the third grade class where we helped tutor kids with math and reading.
