Needham Youth Services Peer Tutor program

Need A Tutor?

Needham Youth Services offers a Peer Tutor Program for elementary and middle school students entering grades 3-8 who have demonstrated a need for academic assistance or a need for support in developing successful study habits.  Volunteer high school students provide one hour of tutoring each week throughout the academic year at designated sites only.  This program is not appropriate for students with advanced learning needs or behavioral issues. 

Applications are being accepted from May 5thuntil May 30th for the 2014-2015 academic year. Please note that previous applicants who were on our waitlist must reapply with a current application.

Applications are available in the Needham Youth Services office or on our website atwww.needhamma.gov/youth/peertutor. Parents will be notified of their child’s status in the program by the end of June.  There is a $45 fee associated with this program, which can be waived in the event of financial need.  For more information contact Michelle Butman at Needham Youth Services at 781-455-7500 x266 ormbutman@needhamma.gov.
