The Scholar Shop is an academic support center and learning library. The shop provides educational resources to students from Workshop Houston’s other programs and the neighborhood. We opened the shop because many youth excelled in our programs, yet still struggled in school. The Scholar Shop gives the youth we work with the support to succeed in school and beyond.

In Scholar Shop, students of all ages receive tutoring and assistance with school work. In addition, participants take part in clubs, projects and activities that help them to develop a love of learning and see the many applications of their education. The shop is staffed by trained volunteer tutors who work not only to ensure that students’ achieve academically, but also act as mentors and inspire participants towards higher education.

Scholar Shop presents…Soul on Ice

January 6, 2009

Come join us as we read Soul on Ice by Eldridge Cleaver.  Soul on Ice is a collection of autobiographical essays and notes on the black experience in the ghetto, in prison, and in the larger society. Eldridge Cleaver experiences great anguish as he constructs a philosophy capable of making sense of his life and of the inferior status of black people in America and throughout the world.

Every Wednesday 7pm
