What are the children/teens like that UST students work with?
UST students work with a huge variety of students, ranging in age from 5 to 18. 60% of our tutees are students of color with such backgrounds as Somali, Latino, Hmong, and African-American. 65% of the children /teens are on free or reduced lunch at school. What most of them have in common is that they have experienced difficulty in the classroom and can benefit from the presence of a tutor, listener, and friend.
