| Quentin Moses helps Athens Tutorial Program celebrate it's 25th year of service to the children of Athens. |

The Athens Tutorial Program is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing one-on-one academic assistance,
improving learning skills and providing personal growth and cultural enrichment opportunities to our students. Since
1981 when ATP first opened its doors, more than 4,500 children in grades K-12 have been involved in our program.
The children who come to our program are not "problem" students, but students who for whatever reason, have missed
some essential elements and encouragement in their learning paths.
With just one hour twice a week, you can be influential in
lowering the dropout rate, preventing drug use, teen pregnancy, gang activity, and encouraging academic
achievement! Tutoring sessions (no experience required) are Monday through Thursday between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m.

Athens Tutorial is also about Building Character
Students recognize their tutors with certificates, cards and a reception for Volunteer Appreciation Month -- Students made flower pots to take to a local nursing home |
