Tutoring Pals Overview

The academic achievement gap in Santa Barbara is a well-documented concern that primarily affects underrepresented, minority student populations. Santa Barbara is home to a culturally diverse community, and SBPAL recognizes the needs and cultural barriers that prevent students from underrepresented communities from being successful.
Through our partnerships with different community organizations, we can identify and provide services to youth who would benefit from our program, including academic tutoring.
Our partnership with Cal-SOAP allows us to have tutors that work with teens in individual and group settings. Our primary focus includes tutoring, mentoring, and college advising. We aim to address students' current educational needs and actively encourage and support post-secondary enrollment.
