About Tutoring at Garnet Ridge
Garnet Ridge Boys and Girls Club is located in a mostly-Latino neighborhood of duplexes in north Athens, off Jefferson Rd. Originally an outreach of the UGA School of Social Work, it became a sub-unit of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Athens several years ago, and conducts many different after-school and summer programs for resident children. The program is also sometimes spelled "Garnett Ridge".
Garnet Ridge Boys and Girls Club:
Elementary and Middle School students
Monday through Friday, 3:00-4:30 (homework help)
4:30-6:00 (other enrichment & play programs)
(On days that are CCSD teacher planning days, Garnet Ridge is open with students from 10 a.m. on.)
Tutoring begins in August. Orientations (for new tutors only) August 24 or 26, 2009, 6:30 p.m., or as arranged, at Garnet Ridge. Background checks required, may take 2 weeks. Fill out the volunteer application information online at www.athensbgca.com
