Educational/Emotional Empowerment
You are entering an arena where you will be rebuilt from the inside-out by choosing a therapeutic session through M.A.D.D. (Music, Art, Drama, and Dance).
Each therapeutic session is designed to be a stress and trauma relief tool before engaging in academic tutoring sessions. Our Educational Empowerment Sessions will be hosted by adult/peer mentors who are committed to your academic and intellectual growth.
Sessions are scheduled from 3-7 o’clock every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. We are fully aware of the Covid-19 protocols and safety guidelines and regulations; therefore, we are in the process of preparing to conduct virtual tutoring sessions. These virtual sessions will be available and scheduled upon request on designated days.

Therefore, prior to each tutoring session, students will be provided with relaxation tools to increase intellectual and academic performance.

Engagement with creative activities has the potential to reduce stress and promote student mental health and wellbeing.
