Tutoring With A Twist
By Kayli Duncan
We Are the Majority Peer Leader
Does your child need after school help? We Are the Majority, a group
founded by Recovery and Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio, is now
offering study sessions after school. These study sessions are held for
students third through sixth grade at Gateway Youth Programs. Gateway
is located at 116 East Third Street in downtown Greenville. Study
Sessions begin at approximately 3:45 and end at 5:15, and they occur
every Tuesday of the month.
The purpose of these study sessions is to improve the children’s
studying skills, help with their homework, and also teach them life
skills.
“Life Skills is an evidenced based program shown to increase a
student’s ability to choose healthy alternatives to risky behavior,”
says prevention specialist, Kelly Harrison.
The life skills are usually taught through a curriculum based lesson
and a small activity/game. At the end of each month, the We Are the
Majority group plans activities such as crafts, snacks, and games.
These activities often have a specific theme. Examples of these
activities included a Harvest Party in November and Christmas caroling
in December.
We Are the Majority cordially invites any student currently in grades
three through six to join them on Tuesdays for study sessions at 3:45
p.m. It is required that parents register them at the time of their
first study session. Come and enjoy a mix of fun and learning at
Gateway with We Are the Majority. If you would like to enroll your
student in study sessions, or become a peer leader yourself, please
contact the Recovery and Wellness Center at (937)-548-6842.
