Summit Educational Association

Summit matches volunteer mentors with inner city 4th-8th graders to help motivate them toward high goals and improve their academic skills through personal, One-on-One mentoring. Summit’s mission is to broaden the horizons of these children and instill in them the desire to succeed academically and personally through hard work and character development.

Summit provides motivating talks on a variety of virtues that defeat the negatives of life by fostering positive attitudes towards study, learning, family and community. Ultimately Summit’s goal is help each child — in a personal way — become a better student and a better person. Eventually we want our children to be happier, more successful workers and well respected members of their community. Summit’s motto is: No Child Left Unhelped

The Spring 2009 Program is currently in session:

 The Boys program for 4^th through 8^th grade boys  involves a combination of academic tutoring and character development.  There are Tuesday or Thursday programs from 5PM to 7PM or a Saturday morning program from 10AM to 12PM.  The typical program consists of a sports period, group character/mentoring discussion/presentation, and a one-on-one tutoring session.  There are special group field trips once per semester for both tutors and students.
