Volunteers Make A Difference

 

The ICS School Within a School (SWS) is a one-on-one tutoring program for students in first through sixth grades.  Begun as an attempt to address the needs of refugee children with little or no schooling in their home countries, the program has expanded over the years through the help of dedicated volunteers. 

 

Retired teachers and principals, former lawyers and piano tuners, aspiring psychologists and dedicated moms and dads tutor children from 23 different countries.  Concentrating on reading and math, they work from 30 minutes to an hour one or more times a week.
