"During my first day back at the center, one of the brilliant third graders approached me and asked if I could bring all my friends so that he too could have a tutor. This is the reason why I am hoping to share my experiences with you. Durham public school district and after school programs are desperately in need of volunteers to tutor struggling students. Please consider getting involved! You can truly help change someone’s life forever…."

Patrick Messac's Blog Volunteering at the West End Community Center

First-year student and Reginaldo Howard Scholar Patrick Messac has followed a passion for public service that began in high school. Patrick started working at Durham's West End Community Center's after-school program when he took the Foundations of Education 100 course in fall semester, and he continued his commitment to the Center even after the course concluded. Patrick's blog details some of his day-to-day experiences with the young people he tutors and mentors there.
