Two area nonprofit organizations are working together to make sure that young children in one of Vacaville’s underprivileged neighborhoods get much needed after school tutoring and mentoring.
Last week, The Leaven quietly opened its first after-school tutoring and mentoring center in Vacaville in a densely populated, but predominantly low income neighborhood on Bennett Hill Court. The new center, which adds to a network of similar programs installed in troubled neighborhoods in Fairfield, Suisun City, and Rialto in Southern California, has become part of a centerpiece of the Vacaville neighborhood, as it took up residence in the newly opened Opportunity House.
