The Chain Of Knowledge, \u201cMicronesian Tutoring\u201d, is a relatively new tutoring program that is ran by students here at the University of Guam. The program dedicated to providing tutoring opportunities for Micronesian students attending high school and middle school.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to provide success and opportunities to Micronesian youth,\u201d says Jasmine Basset, the program\u2019s public relations officer. \u201cSince Micronesian students going to school here at UOG will be the ones tutoring, this program also creates a way for the older generation of Micronesian students to connect with the younger ones,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Basset also told us that the program targets Micronesian students who are in risk of dropping out of school. By doing this, the program hopes it can help reduce the drop out rates and increase graduation rates.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur number one priority is to provide tutoring services in essential academic subjects to the students,\u201d says Basset, \u201cbut this is only one aspect of our vision for the entire program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bassett added that, along with providing tutoring services, the program wants to \u201cpromote better leadership, life skills and character building for Micronesian youth, also to promote cultural awareness and unity, and to establish a collaborative network to promote program sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program was officially kicked off last year, and after a successful launch, the program wishes to expand. From starting with only a few tutors, Basset tells us that they now want to reach out to UOG students from all Micronesian nations to come be a part of the program. \u201cour goal is to have at least two tutors from each island.\u201d<\/p>\n
