Tutoring Program

"I'll be OK in life
if you can teach me to read."

The Episcopal Refugee Network now provides one-on-one tutoring for 62 Karen and Karenni children from Myanmar and six refugee children from Bhutan.  This program is offered  in two sections (elementary and secondary) a week at St. Mark’s Church in City Heights, San Diego.  Recently, the Network has begun a new program at St. Alban’s Church Hall in El Cajon City.  There are 15 Karen and Karenni children in that program, as well as 6 Iraqi children.  More volunteer tutors will enable more children to be accepted into the El Cajon program twice a week.

Each week the children learn and practice basic reading and math skills.
They also receive enrichment in current events, geography and map skills, research skills, and poetry.  Field trips to art, history and science museums, and sporting events enhance their learning experiences.  Positive reports from San Diego teachers have let us know we are helping these children.
