Molly Wagschal has been volunteering every Monday to tutor children in a variety of subjects at the Monroe County Public Library’s ‘El Centro Comunal Latino’ outreach programs. The parents of these students are non-native English speakers, who are unfamiliar with the U.S. public school system, and are grateful for native English speakers who volunteer to help their kids with literacy and their homework assignments. As a high school student balancing advanced placement courses and studying violin through IU’s Jacobs School pre-college program, she wants to support the educational development of Latino children in our community, and help their families succeed in U.S. society through educational achievement. She has made it a commitment to make her community a more welcoming place for Latino immigrants.
