Tutoring at the International Community School
Every Wednesday at 3pm, a group of International and American students tutor children at the International Community School (ICS) located in Avondale Estates (near Decatur). What’s so special about ICS? About half of the children are from refugee or immigrant families! This is a great opportunity to aid children in various areas of academic difficulty while building relationships with children from different cultures and with other Georgia Tech students.
