A new in-school enrichment program that offers Mt. Greylock 7th grade students stimulating, hands-on courses on the theme of Wellness. Held during early release days in October and November, middle school students will have the opportunity to select two workshops from a list of ten that include subjects like “the art of making apple cider”, “A wish for our future–prayer flags”, “Singing from the heart (and for the lungs)”, and “New Games.” Workshop instructors will be volunteers from Williams College and the local community, with supervision and assistance from Williams at Mt. Greylock and Mt. Greylock. For more information contact: Barbara.G.Robertson@verizon.net
ABC House Tutoring (volunteer)
Tutors work with the 8 high school students living in the ABC House on Hoxsey Street. A Better Chance (ABC) is a national program that takes students without access to a good high school and enrolls them in high schools in other parts of the country. Students have to maintain a minimum GPA to stay enrolled in the program. ABC tutors help students in whatever subjects they need help. Tutoring is one-on-one and in a specific subject area. Meeting times are flexible, generally in the evening, and arranged on an individual basis. Commitments of 1-2 hours a week are required. For more information contact: Barbara Roberston Barbara.G.Robertson@verizon.net
Mt. Greylock High School Tutoring (volunteer, on-campus at Williams)
Volunteers work one-on-one with high school students in a variety of subjects. Tutoring sessions take place on campus in the evenings. At least one hour a week commitment is required for 1 or 2 semesters. In addition to providing academic support, the goal of the program is also to foster, over the course of the year, a strong personal bond between tutor and tutee!
