Mentoring and Tutoring (M&T) Fall 2026

Precollege Mentoring and Tutoring Families, 

Hoping everyone had an amazing summer! We are gearing up for the upcoming fall semester for our M&T program. Our team had been busy this past spring running our Spring 26' Precollege Programs and now we are busy getting LOTS of things ready for another successful semester of M&T. 

UPDATE: The grant we work with to have this program be FREE has awarded us more scholarships (which means we have room for a few more on each night)! This is great, however that means we will ONLY be able to take new kids into our program that qualify for free/reduced lunch and have their paperwork registered at their school. 

Complete this survey Fall 2026 Participant Interest Survey if you want to sign your child up for academic year tutoring.

Questions can be directed to the Precollege Coordinator, Yer Xiong at- yxiong2@uwlax.edu.

Our Mentors and Tutors head down weekly to the Ho-Chunk Youth and Learning Center located down at the Three Rivers House. Our UWL students will work with the kids attending that afterschool program on Thursdays. 

The site will be a modified version of what we usually do on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The focus will be meeting the whole child at that location and work with them regarding academics or other identified goals from the family.  

This program will run on Thursdays from Sept. 17th - Dec. 3rd from 4-6pm on most weeks. Once a month mentors will join from 5-7pm during the Ho-Chunk Family Fun night. This site is NOT open to the community and only to youth attending their program. 

Precollege - A Mentoring and Tutoring Program (M&T)

UWL 2024 Thursday Tutoring Group

The Pre-College academic year offerings provide local youth with weekly tutoring and enrichment opportunities. Through a combination of tutoring, enrichment, and communication, M&T motivates youth to take a proactive role in their own life choices and become engaged members in their community.

  • Tutoring: We strive to meet the academic needs of our students by offering help in specific school subjects and by developing more effective study skills.
  • Enrichment: Beyond academics, the program also exposes students to enrichment and recreational opportunities, organizations within the community, and events on local campuses. 
  • ​Communication: We work to collaborate closely with your student and families to establish academic and social/emotional learning goals. 

But most importantly - M&T inspires students to attend college!
