About
Invest in Youth
Invest
in Youth...is a business-to-youth tutoring program created
in 1997 by financial advisor Harriett Morton and sponsored
by her firm, Morton Clarke Fu & Metcalf. Harriett created
a tutoring program specifically for financial professionals who
could choose to be available after 3 PM because of the early market
closing on the West Coast. The program has since expanded to include
tutors from other professions.
Time
is an Asset...participating in Invest in Youth requires a
tutoring commitment of one hour every week for the duration of
the school year. You are paired with a student at the beginning
of the year, and work with the same student for the entire year.
The student's teacher conveys to each tutor what areas the student
needs extra help in, and that is where your job starts.
Head
Home a Hero...by participating in Invest in Youth you are
contributing positively to a young persons academic life, and
you are giving back to your community. Students participating
in Invest in Youth typically are from low-income backgrounds and
do not have the support network at home to succeed academically.
You can be that young person's support network that pushes them
toward academic success.
