Tutoring

Overview

8th graders (and High School) – You’ve learned a lot in school about a lot of stuff. This honor helps you take what you’ve learned, add some heart, awareness, and time, and give back to your community by helping a younger child learn (and appreciate) what you already know. Who knows, you might become someone’s hero!
This honor is available only to clubs inside the North American Division. For those outside the North American Division, use the AY Honor Literacy honor instead.
