A group of Korean American high school students in Koreatown is launching a free tutoring program serving multiethnic youth in the community.
The youth volunteer organization National Youth Community Center (NYCC) announced at a press conference on October 23 that it will begin offering the program every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. starting November 15. Classes will take place on the fourth floor of the NYCC office at 4055 Wilshire Blvd and are open to students from first to ninth grade.
The curriculum includes English, math, coding, robotics, and a book club. Korean American high school students who have excelled academically—some of whom are award-winning robotics competitors—will lead the sessions, offering both subject instruction and college preparation guidance.
The program is jointly organized by NYCC, Boston Education (led by Sue Byun), and the multicultural nonprofit California Rising (chaired by Raul Claros)…
