Empowering Native Youth through Education
Strong Family Health Center’s Title VI Indian Education Program funding is provided through the U.S. Department of Education-via Modoc Joint Unified School District.
The tutoring program mission is to tutor, guide and inspire Native youth to achieve academic and character success. Our vision is that all students will be empowered to succeed academically and will possess the skills they need to realize their potential and achieve their hopes and dreams.
Our school year tutoring program serves students in grades K-12 attending Modoc Joint Unified School District. The focus of the program is to provide homework assistance, skill building and site based intervention, aiding in the development of Mathematics and English/Language Arts.
DESCRIPTION: The Youth Tutoring Program provides a two-pronged approach to academic excellence. The first avenue is a school site based intervention program, working with students individually and in small groups, which allows tutors to tailor their techniques to individual children more intimately. Our secondary avenue provides after-school tutoring. We offer transportation from the school sites to the center and then home after the program has concluded. Our tutoring center is located within a short distance from the school sites, making it convenient for the families we serve.
Parent Advisory Committee meetings are hosted to review the annual funding agreement between Strong Family Health Center (SFHC) and Modoc Joint Unified School District (MJUSD). During these meetings, the group has the opportunity to review the strategic goals outlined in the grant and provide input on enhancements to the program or needed services. These meetings have been instrumental in allowing SFHC the unique privilege to have Accelerated Reader (AR) testing available on site.
We strongly believe in empowering Native youth through education, culture and leadership. We hope with each passing year to grow together and create a stronger and healthier community of Native people.
