MC2 Technology, Inc, a 501c(3) organization, provided successful after-school and Saturday programming for “on-the-bubble” elementary and high school students since 1997 in Hartford’s toughest north-end neighborhood, the Barbour Street area (between Tower and Capen streets). Partnering with north-end minister, Apostle Wadie Lanier, and working out of her New Temple of God community church, the program prospered. It was the first “after-school” tutoring program in the area. The “4-Walls” Project, partnering with the African American Environmentalist Association, and its founder and executive director, Norris McDonald, is a 4-year pilot program with five levels of assessment and evaluation. It is first a tutoring program for low income students who are experiencing difficulty with academic achievement and social interaction leading potentially to truancy or dropping-out of school altogether. Many of the students will be from single parent, grandparent or guardian homes with contact to local or state social services including foster care. The Project, held after-school, on (M,T,W) and on Saturdays, provides a minimum of 15 hours per week, over the four (4) days, tutoring in core subject areas (the 3-R’s), combined with a specialized focus in “building/ sustainability.” Saturday workshops will be devoted to “hands-on” work, plus monthly trips to topic-related sites. Program participants must be fully enrolled students, from any Manchester high school (private or public), who desire to improve their individual test scores and GPA (2.0 or lower) by one full point or more over the four years, thereby gaining confidence in their own abilities to graduate, and leading to either post high school education or gainful employment.
