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.
