Tutor the Tigers
Tutor the Tigers is our newest program, launched in the fall of 2023 in response to the urgent need for reading tutors at Franklin Elementary. Our goal is to match a volunteer tutor with every student at Franklin who needs one. Tutor the Tigers runs after-school at Franklin Monday through Friday. To learn more about how you can volunteer for this program contact Danny Fitelson.
Elementary After-school Program
During the school year, we open our doors to children from Franklin Elementary for our elementary after-school program. Harbor House staff pick the kids up from Franklin and walk them three blocks to Harbor House. We feed them a hearty supper and give them time to play outside before coming inside for Academic Hour and Enrichment Clubs. Interns from our Youth Leadership Program help lead the children through their activities and volunteers come to teach enrichment clubs.
Middle School After-school Program
We pick up students from nearby middle schools on Tuesdays and Thursdays and bring them to Harbor House for an afternoon of snacks, homework, enrichment clubs, rest, and community building. Students participate in volunteer-led enrichment activities such as music, sewing, architecture, and science. This program gives young people a place to connect and belong.
