E1T1 (Each One, Teach One)

Our Pulte Family Foundation Tutoring provides bi-weekly tutoring during the school year and weekly in the summer. These sessions are made possible through partnerships with Believe to Achieve, a student-led tutoring organization, and Jarrid Frye, a dedicated math teacher at Spanish River High School. We offer free one-on-one homework help, diagnostic testing to assess academic levels, customized lesson plans in math and reading, and preparation for the FAST, SAT, and ACT exams. Additionally, we closely monitor student GPAs, test scores, and other key academic metrics to ensure personalized support where it’s most needed.

The EmpowerU Mental Health Program at the EJS Project is designed to introduce students to mental health, help them develop emotional skills, and provide professional support for those in need. Through a partnership with licensed mental health clinician Darius Murray from ReAbleU Therapy, we offer monthly group therapeutic sessions for students in our after-school program. These sessions focus on building emotional intelligence, teaching coping skills, and enhancing our safe space. Additionally, we provide one-on-one therapy sessions for students and families seeking individualized mental health support. This program also integrates Tomorrow’s Rainbow’s Grief on the Go Experience, offering therapeutic and interactive support for children coping with loss, ensuring students receive compassionate care across a range of emotional needs.

Additionally, EJS hosts EmpowerHer/EmpowerHim Circles. These are monthly girls and boys groups focused on self-confidence, expression, and leadership in a safe, peer-supported space. And Path to My Moment, a 1-1 college prep along with senior workshops on FAFSA, scholarships, career/college prep, and navigating life after graduation.
