The After School Tutoring Program provides educational support for up to 780 elementary students from kindergarten through second grade in all five Immokalee elementary schools. The goal of the program is to provide academic support and enrichment to ensure students are performing on grade level when they enter third grade. Students are pre and post-tested using school district approved assessment instruments. In the summer, a full-day program is offered to help alleviate summer learning loss that can occur when students are out of school for an extended time.

The Tutor Corps Program uses a unique work-study model for 125 Immokalee High School students. The program continues through college, serving 150 college students in schools across the country. The program hires high school students to work in the after-school program. The employment offers students structure, work experience and training. Additionally, students receive intensive college prep and are paired with a mentor from the community. Students can accrue up to $4,000 per year in college scholarship funding. For the past 15 years, 100% of students enrolled in the Tutor Corps Program graduate high school and more than 93% complete a 4-year college degree. Tutor Corps RISE program works with 60 middle school students to preprare them for high school.
