Project HEART

East Carolina’s Project HEART is a tutoring program that recruits university and college students to serve as tutors to elementary, middle, and high school students who are struggling to succeed in core content areas such as language arts, English, math, science, or social studies. This regional partnership, composed of school districts and other community organizations in eight counties in eastern North Carolina, has as its mission to help students succeed in school. Project HEART objectives are 1) increase the number of students who meet state and national standards, 2) reduce the number of students who drop out, and 3) increase the number of students who graduate from high school.
