NEST After School Tutoring Program
A high-quality, academically based, and accessible after-school program changes an at-risk child’s life trajectory Contact UsFrequent QuestionsA high school diploma opens doors to a future of living outside of poverty. At-risk students that stay in school and graduate are less likely to get involved in drugs, be involved in risky behavior, spend time incarcerated, suffer homelessness, and live an overall healthier life than their peers that don’t complete high school.
Our program is designed to meet students where they are currently, both geographically and academically. We developed a process that can be deployed onsite, using a mobile classroom, to help accomplish the academic goals provided by the local school system. Using this method, we’ve helped hundreds of children living at or below the poverty level.
