Our Mission:
The mission of the UIC is to spark personal and intellectual growth amongst New Haven youth. Through tutoring and mentorship, the program seeks to assist students in achieving academic success and to inspire them to succeed beyond the classroom.
Our Activities:
UIC Tutoring and Mentoring
Direct Service
UIC is a tutoring and mentoring program that serves elementary, middle, and high school students in the New Haven area. We match Yale students with a student in the community, and through weekly meetings and group events, we help mentees succeed inside and outside the classroom. We strive to build a community of Yale tutors by providing opportunities for tutors to meet with and without their mentees and engage in helpful discourse on how to be good mentors and ensure they are also benefiting from the mentorship. We hope to expand our reach into the New Haven community and serve even more schools and students.
