Hi!


I am one of the undergraduate leaders for The Sununu Project, a group started by a couple of Geisel students that travels to the Sununu Youth Detention Center in Manchester once a week to tutor incarcerated youth to obtain their GED. Many of the teens we work with have some type of learning disability, so we focus on using metacognitive strategies to empower them to realize they can conquer the GED test. Due to these kids being in and out of different schools, they often have large gaps in content that can go unnoticed in their regular classes. Part of our goal is to fill in these gaps and increase their confidence so that they can pass their GED and be ready to move forward once they are released.


I was wondering if you could share this opportunity with your group and see if any of your members would be interested in helping to teach, either this term or in the future. We will continue to travel to Sununu over the summer, so 18s are especially appreciated! Please let me know if you would be willing to help us spread the word, and if you want more information. Thank you!


Best wishes,

Sara McElheny
