| Description |
This project began when the Housing Authority of the County of Salt Lake (HACSL) contacted the Lowell Bennion Community Service Center for assistance with its new Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program. The FSS program seeks to help highly-motivated adults in low income, government housing obtain their GEDs. Historically, mathematics has been the hardest subject for the program's participants, therefore they were looking for University of Utah volunteer math tutors. I chose to assist with this program, first, because I have always loved math and worked as a math tutor throughout high school. Second, I was also interested in the psychological, social and economic issues surrounding adults who had, for various reasons, been unable to complete their high school education. |
