2020 Summer Tutoring Innovation Program

The 2020 Summer Tutoring Innovation Program, supported by DOES’ Summer Youth Employment Program, provides targeted reading, writing, science, and math skills development and tutoring for teenagers and young adults. This program targets students in grades 9-12 and young adults up to age 28. Students will work in small groups of approximately 5 students online with a dedicated and trained college student who will provide targeted tutoring support. Tutoring sessions will last for one hour and students will be assigned multiple sessions over a 4-week period from July 6 to July 31. The program uses a variety of resources including academic materials from Cengage, Scribd, and many other high interest readings within dynamic high impact tutoring sessions.

Learning Hubs for DC students

To support students’ continued learning this summer, Mayor Muriel Bowser has launched Learning Hubs for DC students. With support from DPR and DCPL, Learning Hubs provide families in the District with safe spaces for their children to engage in supervised independent activities. These spaces will provide students with access to internet (and devices in some locations), and offer recommended independent activities based on age group and host site. DPR locations will include summer meal service. The DCPL locations will not include meal access, so students are encouraged to visit a summer meal location before attending.

The District’s first Learning Hubs opened on Monday, June 29^th. DPR Learning Hubs will serve students age 6 through 5^th-grade students. DCPL Learning Hubs will serve rising 6^th through 12^th-grade students. For all locations, families who sign up will secure a seat for their child week-by-week.

Advanced safety and mitigation measures will be in place at all locations to keep our Learning Hub participants and staff safe.  Drop off and pick up will occur outside of the facility and building access will be restricted. Staff will wear face coverings at all times, and participants will be required to wear face masks when medically and developmentally appropriate. Student participants will be seated at least 6 ft apart from each other during structured activities. Additionally, there will be no more than 10 people in each group. Extensive deep cleaning of the building will occur between sessions.

In future weeks, registration for weekly cohorts will open every Monday at 9:00 AM for the next week. To sign up, please click here. Spaces are extremely limited and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
