Academic Program
Education is the key to success in today’s challenging world. Chautauqua Striders is dedicated to providing academic opportunities and encouragement to all students in the Chautauqua County area. Tutoring programs help improve students’ love of learning, grades, and test scores, while enhancing self-esteem and promoting positive life-style and career choices. Tutoring has become the largest and the most comprehensive component of Chautauqua Striders programming and encompasses all age groups from kindergarten through high school at no charge to students or families.

High School Tutoring Tutorial programs for high school students occur at our main location on the second floor of the YMCA, Boys & Girls Club of Jamestown and Eastside YMCA. High school students from throughout the county come to these locations for help. Most students request help with math, the sciences, and social studies. Students who are involved with the Striders/YMCA Teen Center may also access help at the Lighted Schoolhouse. We also offer workshops for the P.S.A.T. and S.A.T. college prep exams and assistance with their college search.
