Pathways After-School Program at Lazear Elementary



NEEDED: PART-TIME TUTORS



The Pathways After-School Program was designed to offer academic and enrichment activities for the students at Lazear Elementary in Oakland.

Through theme-based and project-based learning, students experience new ways of thinking about themselves and their communities. Students from grades 1st through 5th participate in academic, literacy, sports, art, music, health and fitness activities with the support of the teachers, tutors and volunteers.
