The Newtowne Tutoring Project (NTP) is a student-led, student-organized community service club that gives MLWGS high schoolers the opportunity to tutor RPS students every Thursday after school. Students help elementary and middle school children complete their homework, learn study tips, and create a mentorship relationship between the two to foster a love for learning in the younger students!. NTP runs weekly from December through the end of April.   <\/p>\n

Each session includes one-on-one tutoring, a snack, and organized play.  In the fall our student leadership advertises the program in the neighborhood, plans activities, recruits and trains volunteer tutors, and orders supplies. This year, 3-6 neighborhood children are consistently on campus but weekly email reminders are broadcast to a larger pool of community parents.  Virtual sessions are also available for tutoring to community students.  <\/p>\n

One of the project goals is to bolster interaction with students from our most immediate community (Newtowne). Volunteers often hear from their interactions that many of these students didn’t know that MLWGS could be an option for them so it is important to plant the seed of possibility that one day they could be a Maggie Walker Governor’s School Dragon.<\/p>\n

This year approximately 100 Maggie Walker students have offered their time and tutoring skills. Student volunteers are trained each October by project leadership and sign-up for their preferred weeks of tutoring. MLWGS students have contributed more than 200 hours of community service to NTP this year. <\/p>\n

2022 Project Leadership<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emma Burris (’22-Richmond), Mona Garimella (’23-Henrico), and Mary Lamberth (’23-Richmond).<\/p>\n

Faculty sponsor Harold Houghton said, “the students who participate in this program receive volunteer hours but they do it for the satisfaction of a job well done.”  Well done to you too, Mr. Houghton, for your dedication and commitment through the years to the NTP. <\/p>\n
