Who are we?The Lincoln Heights Tutorial Program was founded in 1985, and from 1985-1998, the Lincoln Heights Tutorial Program was in care of a non-profit organization called Blessed Hope Fellowship/Foundation. In 1998, we became our own incorporation as a non-profit, 501(c)(3), IRS #95-4682502. Since our founding, the Lincoln Heights Tutorial Program has had a vision to raise urban children and youth to become role models back into their own communities, and to assist them to go on to college. Our emphasis is on college preparation and leadership development skills for teens, training youth to give back to their own communities through community service and the tutoring of younger children, and homework assistance for children grades K - 9th. We currently serve over 1075 Hispanic and Asian children and youth between the grades K-12th, with over 570 of the 1075 being youth from the 7th-12th grades. What do we do?It is our goal to raise many children and youth from the communities that we serve, to become great role models, attend college, and to be individuals who have a heart to serve their community through service projects and other volunteering opportunities. This works to reduce the flow of children and youth from choosing into a life of gangs, violence, and drugs, in these inner-city communities, and begins a transformation process of the community. In addition, our youth are engaged in community service projects that allow them to model positive achievements instead of the usual vandalism and destructive acts of teens in these neighborhoods. All of our Programs have been designed throughout the years, to maximize the influence and experiences of children and youth in our community. Our after-school tutoring sites provide a safe and quiet studying environment for our children and youth, with our high school and youth club college alumni being role models and providing the homework assistance for the next generation of children. |
