Grades 2nd-5th

During TAMIT Tuesdays we offer tutoring through a partnership with UCLA. Cultural knowledge is shared with students and they complete cultural activities while meeting other Native youth. Snacks and drinks are provided.

9th-12th Grades

College planning is a key element to working with our high school youth. Freshmen and sophomores learn about required classes in order to apply to California’s UC or CSU schools, while juniors and seniors focus on the application process. Students should aim for the highest GPA (grade point average) possible but can set up some tutoring time for assistance. Colleges want to see four years’ worth of community services AND extracurricular activities, so TAMIT offers summer camps, campus tours, and volunteer service. Qualifying students will earn a Letter of Recommendation from TAMIT to campuses and scholarships of their choice.

With a college education, people can get better jobs, which impacts your income, your home environment, health, and happiness.

On average, a 4 year graduate will earn $1 million more than a high school graduate (Source: US Census Bureau)

Culture Education Information

TAMIT believes culture is a core element to the development of a student’s self-concept, identity and self-esteem. Most TAMIT events fuse culture and education.
