Reading Tutors Needed 

Hospitality House Youth Development

“By opening doors of opportunity, at-risk youth will be equipped to lead with integrity, broken families will be restored, and our North Minneapolis community will be rebuilt.”

Hospitality House Youth Development’s Urban Learning Center provides intensive academic support in a caring environment that builds self-esteem and confidence for at-risk youth.  The Learning Center goal for after school academic programs is to increase student reading levels by 10% in the coming year.
