The document discusses a pilot program that brings together community partners to support students and challenge them to pursue their dreams. It aims to provide resources, relationships, and opportunities to young people to make a huge impact on them. It needs 18 volunteers who can give at least 3 hours during the school day, at least one day a week between 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM on Mondays through Thursdays. The goal is to help students struggling in subjects like English and math through one-on-one or small group tutoring sessions.
