Outreach
Classroom Assistance and Mentoring
St. Paul’s is in partnership with the Norwalk International Academy at Norwalk High Schools that serves the needs of incoming refugee students. Fleeing the consequences of life in drug cartel, war-torn countries like Guatemala and Honduras, these teens have risked their lives to reach safety. Many have witnessed or been the victims of incredible violence. St. Paul’s members serve as tutors and companions as students learn English and develop math skills. Volunteers need not speak Spanish; nor do they need to have a formal teaching background. To learn more about this opportunity, or to sign up to help, click here.
