The Scholar Shop is designed to incorporate an academic aspect into our program. We believe that academic success is one of the most important things in our participants’ lives and are committed to making that happen for all of our students. The Scholar Shop reinforces what students are doing in school by collaborating with area educators to develop and offer services including tutoring in problem areas, study skills techniques, and test preparation strategies all in an environment which is conducive to learning. Our goal is to establish a culture among our participants that promotes self empowerment through educational development. We strive not only for academic success, but also to forge relationships with students in order to overcome academic barriers and motivate them in their pursuit of higher education. By reinforcing basic fundamentals and building strong foundations our participants will be equipped with the academic skills necessary for success. The Scholar Shop is open to any students in the neighborhood and mandatory for After School Club participants who are struggling in school.
