Good Neighbor Center (Tutoring Program)

A tutoring program with a lot of heart

The Good Neighbor Center (GNC) helps students in grades K-12 and early college make academic gains and build skills that last a lifetime. 

We believe the foundation of academic success begins with strong, positive relationships. And that’s what you’ll find at our tutoring program. Lots of laughter. Big smiles. And a passion for learning and discovery. 

Annually, we serve 200+ students, and we engage dozens of tutors and volunteers. 

We’re addressing the education achievement gap by offering free high-quality tutoring for those who need it most, all while leading with heart.

Helping students thrive academically and beyond 

GNC is a community leader in providing after-school tutoring. We’ve been at this for a long time–for over 25 years! With this experience comes insight into what makes an effective tutoring program, one that meets students where they are.  

To truly help students improve their academic performance, our tutoring program goes above and beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic. We focus on the whole student, helping them build healthy relationships and gain social and emotional skills. 

Increasing access to healthy meals for growing minds

We offer students a free meal before every tutoring session, because we know that learning can’t happen on an empty stomach. The meal component of our tutoring program provides a vital resource for MANY families, addressing a pressing need in the community.

When you give to the Good Neighbor Center, you join a community.     

A community of people who believe education is empowerment and EVERY young person deserves to have access to high-quality tutoring to help them succeed in school and in life. Thank you for your support.
