About the Notre Dame Learning Center:
The Center, a free after school tutoring program for city students, was begun in 2004 by three retired School Sisters of Notre Dame. It depends on some 60 volunteers per year to provide one-on-one assistance in reading or math.

Students range from kindergarteners to eighth graders. They are referred by public, Catholic or charter schools in the city. Since its beginning the Center has served more than 300 children.

Anyone interested in volunteering for the July or August sessions, or to refer a student, may call Sr. Lorraine Burns at the Center at 254-5110 or visit www.ndlcenter.org.
