Fabulous concept with such multi-purpose function. Love the idea of assisting children with tutoring/homework - not only helping them academically but providing them with positive role modes and relationships. Also fantastic that it is a wholistic approach impacting their families as well.

The Tutoring Hub project involves the conversion of an existing space into multipurpose training rooms, along with the purchase of basic computer equipment so that educational support services can be provided to people in Manningham who are facing necessitous circumstances. The conversion will create a dedicated learning environment where tutoring and life skills courses can be offered to people of various ages, abilities and backgrounds.
A primary benefit of The Tutoring Hub will be the provision of a mixed use space for classes and programs that promote learning and healthy lifestyle. In particular, this space will enable the extension of the already existing Manningham Foodbank Program which addresses food insecurity and social isolation. Additional services would be expanded to include: tutoring for students, parenting seminars, nutrition classes, and budgeting programs. Such services would build the confidence and capabilities of participants and equip them to move beyond their current life challenges. The space would also be made available for hire for use by other community groups.

is this voluntary area would love to be involved
Hi maxbre, yes this is run by volunteers and we would love to connect with you about assisting if we are successful. Obviously we would have an interview process to assess suitability, working with children's check, etc. Look forward to speaking with you when we know more!

Bridging the generation gap too – a great idea.
