Proyecto Salesiano Refuerzo Escolar (Tutoring/Homework Help) is an after-school program run by the Salesians. Located in Voluntad de Dios, a community very close to Mount Sinai, the program serves children who are at risk of living on the streets. Many participants have been in and out of school, have worked on the streets themselves or have siblings who have. RdC volunteers assist running the program, which provides homework help, workshops, recreation, and a snack. They also have opportunities to assist in home visits to do outreach with the parents and assess the living situations of the children. Most of the children who attend come from Mt. Sinai and the surrounding invasion communities. During school vacation two other RdC volunteers joined the program to assist a vacation summer camp.
