<p class="MsoNormal">I worked on an LSTA grant for a Multnomah County Library to research what we could do to improve our homework center, and tutoring was an issue back then - same questions, same demand. You can refer requests to our Homework Center <a href="https://multcolib.org/homework-center" target="_blank">https://multcolib.org/homework-center</a>.
Tell folks once they've clicked on a topic, to look at the right hand column of blog posts - that's where we've included links to resources and videos they may find helpful. So for Native Americans, you'll get to this page: <a href="https://multcolib.org/homework/Native-Americans" target="_blank">https://multcolib.org/homework/Native-Americans</a><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">And if you click on the top blog post, Native American Tribes and Indian Nations megasites<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://multcolib.org/blog/20160819/native-american-tribes-and-indian-nations-megasites" target="_blank">https://multcolib.org/blog/20160819/native-american-tribes-and-indian-nations-megasites</a><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It will provide good info on that topic. There's also book lists and databases listed that can help. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also under the topic Literacy and Literature, the subjects Research Tips and Rearch and Citations feature videos and printable info graphics about information literacy, and citing sources, and typing and keyboarding tutorials for kids (again,
look at the right hand blog posts for some of these topics). <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I was working the grant, I also talked to 211 operators, who also said they were constantly asked for free tutoring. The bottom line is that tutors are available - but not for free. The library had tried years ago to provide free tutoring
via volunteers, but it failed due because volunteers didn't always know what kids were studying, and it became too difficult to schedule and train all the volunteers needed, and to assure they'd show up. <o:p></o:p></p>
