Northstar Tutoring’s mission is to help low-income and underserved children living in Washington, D.C. reach their full potential by overcoming barriers to personal and academic success. The goal of all Northstar activities are two-fold: to help students reach and exceed academic grade level requirements, and to help them along the path of personal success through the active and long-term support of a successful and caring adult. 

To achieve this mission, Northstar provides students with their own tutor and holds free, twice-weekly tutoring sessions and monthly mentoring activities. Through these relationships, students not only receive much needed academic support, but also the stability that comes through a caring mentor relationship.
