Good Neighbor Center

The Good Neighbor Center (GNC) aims high to close the education gap that prevents many young people from achieving their full potential as students. Our volunteer tutors focus on getting young people up to speed academically through academic practice and one-on-one tutoring, bonding over a shared meal, promoting the value of free time and play, and mentoring and mirroring healthy relationships.

Summer learning helps young people improve academics, keep them busy, and give them something to look forward to three times a week. When summer educational resources are slim, our program can keep skills sharp, provide the extra oomph for students who need additional time to master academic content, and prevent summer brain drain.
