What is SMASH?
SMASH stands for Saturday Mentoring And Study Hall. Every Saturday during the school year, Scholars and volunteer tutors work together on homework from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. From 12:00 – 12:30 p.m. there is optional recreational time. Scholars who attend twice a month may choose to be paired up with an Academic Mentor- a Boston professional who volunteers his or her time to work one-on-one with a Scholar throughout the school year. Study Hall, which takes place at the same time, offers an opportunity for unpaired Scholars to work quietly in a supportive environment where they can also ask for help from volunteers.
