Offered every Saturday throughout the academic year, SMASH is a two-hour study hall where Scholars can work independently, collaborate with other students, and receive one-on-one tutoring. Volunteers support Scholars by serving as tutors and mentors, and these meaningful relationships help students gain confidence, build their academic skills, and stay on track for college.
There are many additional opportunities for you to contribute to Steppingstone’s work throughout the year.
