Tutoring House Leader

I couldn't be happier- and the whole of Hillcrest is so very excited- with who has agreed to direct our tutoring program. Jessi Matson has been working in inner-city Detroit the last few years teaching and directing an after-school tutoring program for under-resourced children. She's a perfect fit for Hillcrest's new program, and actually gives us a head start in that she's done this before, knows what to look for, and knows what to do. While there will still be some kinks to iron out, as there are in any new project or endeavor, Jessi's experience and passion will allow Hillcrest and this project to lean into the kinks, learn from them, and keep doing our best at assisting the students. Jessi is also a proven relationship builder and will build bridges into the surrounding community, allowing Hillcrest to continue to partner with Wesley in reaching in an under-resourced area of Sioux Falls.
