Our Mission

To instill Ogden City School District students and their families with a passion for learning while preparing those students for formal education beyond high school.

Achieving this mission can be accomplished through:

I. Providing Academic Support to Students in Secondary Schools.

II. Facilitating Parental Involvement in the Education Process.

III. Participating in Community Partnerships that Support the Mission of Student to Student.

Student to Student allows Weber State students the opportunity to provide mentoring and tutoring assistance to students in local high schools and middle schools. Tutors provide academic support in a variety of subjects in which students may be challenged. This tutoring provides an opportunity for the university students to develop a mentoring relationship with the secondary students, offering them a glimpse into the life of someone who is continuing their education beyond high school. Students being mentored are also provided opportunities for extra-curricular activities with the university students with whom they have become acquainted. Student to Student hosts an annual summer program providing assistance and navigation through the college entrance process (admissions, scholarships, financial aid) - making college a real experience and an option for the future. Students are also provided leadership opportunities as part of the Summer Summit.

Parents of students involved in Student to Student are encouraged to attend family/ parent nights sponsored by the schools as well as by supporting agencies. At those activities, parents are given information and resources regarding ways to be more acutely involved in their student’s academic success. Parents are encouraged to actively participate in student academic involvement and to in turn encourage their student toward academic success and college enrollment.

Educational Talent Search: College Bound (ETS) is Student to Student’s closest partner. ETS is a federally funded TRiO program which provides students with information regarding financial aid, scholarships, and preparations necessary to attend the college of their choosing. Students who participate in ETS are often referred to Student to Student for tutoring assistance while students being tutored in Student to Student may be referred to ETS if they qualify and are interested in participating.

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) provides students a classroom setting in which they may better accomplish their personal goals to attend college after they graduate from high school. Student to Student mentors partner with AVID to learn best practice techniques for academic tutoring and assist within AVID classrooms to guide students toward their higher education goals.

Student to Student is a member of the Ogden Area Youth Alliance (OAYA). The Ogden Area Youth Alliance is a non-profit organization supporting youth development. Their mission is to work as a unified voice to make youth a priority in the greater Ogden area.
