Do you have at least one hour each week to commit to tutoring and /or mentoring a Jeffers High School student?  Jeffers High School students will be scheduled to meet with you during the day or after school in accordance with your MTU class schedule.

Since Jeffers is in Painesdale, MI, (9 miles south of Houghton on M26) MTU students will be reimbursed $4 per visit for gas to help alleviate the cost of driving to the school. This fund is through a private donation.
