Quality of Place: Brown County Tutoring Collaboration
Project abstract
The Brown County Literacy Coalition is working actively with multiple IU entities to increase educational opportunities for children in the Brown County elementary and intermediate schools that will, in turn, increase academic and service-learning opportunities for IU students. Our overarching goal is to support Brown County Schools and the children and families they serve with reading and math support in grades 3-6. To achieve that, our major opportunities sought include: 1) increasing the number of IU student tutor/mentors working one-on-one with tutees, 2) providing shuttle transportation for tutor/mentors to and from IU and Brown County, 3) creating a career aspiration environment for the tutees.
