Overview
What are Learning Clubs? Learning Clubs provide a safe, fun, supportive learning environment where students participate in educational activities or receive help with their schoolwork from dedicated tutors, outside of school hours. Becoming a volunteer tutor gives you the chance to support young people experiencing poverty with their educational and personal development, to keep up in class, and ultimately to succeed at school.
