Gear Up Academic and Tutoring Program

Mentoring positve academic development and providing extra help in subjects where students may struggle grasping subject concepts during the school day.
Our academics and tutoring program provides our youth participants with services beyond the school day in the form of an additional academic after-school program. The program consists of tutoring, homework help, and structured academic activities that will instills stronger academic focus.
These activities will take place in various satellite locations throughout the City of Grand Rapids, which is a classroom based learning center setting with computers and other help resources. YSA sports participants will be required to attend Gear Up sessions twice per week before the start of their official sports team practices.
Gear Up sessions will take place between the hours of 3:30pm and 5:30pm two to four days per week.
"How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world. How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make their contribution...how we can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness"
