 CrossRoads Tutoring 

Did you know...
The tutoring program was able to help over 50 local students last year understand their homework and subjects a little better.

Whether homework help is needed or some intensive review of a difficult subject, this free, drop-in tutoring program is for students of all ages and from any and all area schools and communities! Knowledgeable tutors are available to help students in a variety of subjects, including math, reading, and science. Our tutors range from adult volunteers with advanced degrees who are serious content experts, to our senior high youth who donate their time and willing spirits to help younger students. Along the way, all of our volunteers come to understand that what they receive from the experience seems far greater than what they give!
