Latino outreach group seeks volunteers to help with homework
As a new outreach to Green Bay's Latino community, the Centro Comunitario Episcopal (Episcopal Community Center) is reaching out to elementary-age students. Its first program will be a homework club at Nicolet Elementary School in Green Bay, where adult tutors will mentor children — especially students referred for extra attention because language barriers make it difficult for parents or guardians to help. The program will run from 3:30 to 5 p.m. each day, with volunteers asked to commit at least two days per week. A feature in today's Green Bay Press-Gazette had details, at http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080324/GPG0101/803240506&located=FLASH.
