What is the PALS Project?

SRJC’s PALS Program seeks to increase student knowledge and skills by fostering community, agency and persistence in the classroom.  Students who have successfully completed courses are invited back to mentor and tutor current students so that they may find greater academic success. PALS attend class, and they hold individual tutoring sessions outside of class, as needed.  In addition, PALS provides grading assistance to the instructor.
