IU program offers tutoring

A variety of services are available to local students through Indiana University.

The IU Indiana Kids program is a collaboration between Serve Indiana and IU’s seven campuses statewide to offer tutoring, mentoring and college and career resources.

The program for students in sixth through 12th grade is free. It includes tutoring in math, English, science and social studies. Students can also be matched with an IU mentor, and there are workshops for college and career readiness.

Those interested in utilizing the program can enroll at bit.ly/2Wc4G7k. Paper applications are available by emailing [email protected].
