In this project, UC Berkeley student athletes who play football act as tutors and mentors to at-risk Berkeley High School students who play football. The purpose is to increase the academic motivation, performance, and college aspirations of the secondary school students. Another goal is to interest UC Berkeley student athletes in careers in education. The project is funded by the UC Office of the President Urban Collaborative Grants Program, and by the Berkeley Pledge.Herbert D. Simons is the principal investigator.
