Youth
If you’re interested in education, tutoring, or just working with kids in general, there are many opportunities for you to get involved. Some of the main avenues of engagement are: in the classroom at St. Paul Public Schools near campus, through tutoring programs, and through college access programs. Depending on what kind of work you are doing, you will be working with different age groups. For example, most Macalester students work in classrooms at the elementary and middle school levels.
