Mary House has run its After School Tutoring and Mentor Program since 1997. Serving thirty students at a time, we have a strong partnership with schools in the neighborhood that allows us to pick the children up from school and walk them to our site. Many of the students we work with live in homes where English is not spoken primarily, so we work with children to improve their reading, writing and comprehension skills. The After School Program is a free program where children stay until 6 P.M, and are provided a nourishing, healthy snack. The program is open to the children living in Mary House housing, as well as other children in our neighborhood schools who are referred to our program. We aim to provide a safe and nurturing environment where kids complete their homework, have access to help from tutors, and receive mentoring from DC high school and college volunteers.
