Neighbors at Hawkins

Neighbors at Hawkins exists to support the students and teachers of Hawkins Elementary school in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

 

The program assists in providing quality education, building student self-esteem, and expanding the personal vision of students for themselves, their community and their world.

 

Neighbors at Hawkins partners with America Reads – Mississippi (ARM) AmeriCorps, a nationally accredited reading specialty program, to hire full-time tutors. With the addition of the ARM tutors, the dedicated Neighbors at Hawkins staff, and consistent support from community volunteers, the students of Hawkins Elementary are thriving.

THREE REASONS TO GIVE

  1. Students are supported through personalized tutoring and mentorship, setting them on a path for future success.

  2. Teachers are supported through the additional help provided by the tutors.

  3. 100% of your donation directly supports the educational needs of students at Hawkins Elementary.
