Founded in 2002, PUSH is an organization that aims to give a “push” to disadvantaged children by tutoring them within the framework of the public school system. Volunteers work with the students on a weekly basis during the school year, helping them with basic skills such as grammar, spelling, mathematics, English, and science. These extracurricular activities take place in small groups on school premises and in full coordination with members of the school staff. PUSH also employs remedial teachers to provide extra help for children with learning disabilities within the school system, teaching them basic reading and writing skills.
