Mission Statement
   

NSCS provides GED Tutoring programs at two different sites: McKim's Youth Opportunity Center and the Community Mediation Center. The importance of high school equivalency (e.g.: a GED diploma) is very important for those trying to acquire higher paying jobs and/or attend college.

Located near downtown Baltimore, the McKim's Youth Opportunity Center is an organization that helps young individuals (ages 16-20), who are out of high shcool, acquire jobs and attain high school equivalency via the GED exam. The center is in need of tutors who can help in any one of the following five test subjects: Writing, Reading, Comprehension, Mathemathics, Social Studies, and Science. By sending tutors to the center three days a week, we hope to increase the number of passing students and cultivate interest in higher education. The Black Student Union also helps with the tutoring at Youth Oppotunities by sending tutors once a week.

The Community Mediation Center is located on 3333 Greenmount Avenue and is a ten minute walk from the homewood campus. On Sunday afternoons at the Mediation Center, NSCS volunteers tutor individuals to come in for help. Most often, these students are adults from the surrounding community. The demand for GED tutoring is high, especially around the Hopkins campus. By tutoring once a week, NSCS hopes to provide a consistent service to help those in the community pass the GED test
