University-Church Virtual Tutoring Program

Open Opportunity

About

Led by Dr. Janise Parker (School of Education) in partnership with New Zion Baptist Church, this research project examines processes and outcomes associated with a university-church youth support program. The program aims to improve academic skills and behavioral and social-emotional skills associated with academic success for predominantly Black Kindergarten through 12th grade students, in response to COVID-19. Student support will be provided by school mental health graduate trainees through virtual tutoring services, under the supervision of the PI and Co-PI (licensed mental health faculty members in counselor education and school psychology). Alongside one-to-one student support, graduate students will facilitate parent informational sessions on a variety of topics. A secondary goal is to develop graduate students’ multicultural competence.
