Children Helping Children*

Location(s)

This project is a pilot student tutoring program where honor roll students from Kennedy Middle School will go to the Linscott School, after hours, and tutor students in the first and second grade. Based on the idea of a young student at Kennedy Middle School, this tutoring is a way he saw an opportunity to help fulfill a community need. This will provide the middle school students with valuable community service and the Linscott School students with another form of support.
*This project is funded on behalf of the Woburn Youth Council.  read more »
