School enrichment programs enhance the classroom experience and support academic success through measures including: literacy, stem (science, technology, engineering, and math), environment, civics, arts/culture, etc. Programs include hillsborough reads which is an early intervention literacy program serving at-risk students in grades k-3. This program gives more than 600 struggling readers one-on-one tutoring to help improve reading levels. Another program is graduation pathway; a dropout prevention program in which americorps members mentored over 170 at-risk students, ranging from grades k to 12, in 10 schools, to increase their commitment to school. Additional programs are supported via grants from the foundation to teachers and schools on a competitive basis in order to assist programs which provide school enrichment.
