Project Description
I am in the process of establishing a summer tutoring program for underpriveleged kids living in an apartment complex. The program will be called Bright Futures Summer Tutoring Program and I will manage it by myself. The program is for children from 7 to 11 years old who need extra help and attention that they did not get during the school year. There will most likely be from about 8 to 10 kids participating in the program. We will meet two days per week for a ninety minute period. The children all live in the Country Club Arms Apartment Complex in South Carolina (my dad manages this complex). I already have the location set up; it will be in the apartment complex's office building, which is basically a big room with a lot of space. I will put together outings once every few weeks to nearby mountains or parks to get the children in a better environment. My dad will drive me to the office for the tutoring sessions and will be the supervisor/chauffeur for the outings. However I am not asking him to pay for the materials needed because this is my project and I want to handle the financial aspects on my own; however with no job I will not be able to do that and still put together a good program for the kids. The following are things for which I need money: supplies (pencils, paper, childrens books, workbooks, word cards, etc.), gas for the outings, program t-shirts, chairs or desks, and small snacks for the kids. This is a program that I plan on holding for all four years of my high school career, so any grant money or donations that I do not use this summer will be used for the following summers.

Do Something! Get Involved
My project is not in need of help so here are some ideas on how to get a project similar to mine started. There are always kids in need of help. Go to local schools and ask if they have any students interested in a tutoring program. Most likely they will be enthused about your project and recommend that you talk to certain students and their families. Next go to a public place, like your city's library or recreation center, and ask them if they have space available on certain dates and times. Again most of the time they will cooperate. Next ask friends and family for small donations to help fund your project. Now the rest depends on you; if you are willing to put the time and effort in your project should go great.
