The Schools of Hope Program (SOH) began in 1996 from a civic journalism
project of the Wisconsin State Journal and WISC TV3. The United Way of
Dane County took the lead in pulling together a number of community
partners including the Urban League of Greater Madison, the University
of Wisconsin and local parents and youth.   SOH Middle and High School
is a program run through the Urban League which aims to address the gap
in academic achievement in Madison area schools. Working closely with
nine Madison area middle schools, one high school in Madison, and two
middle schools in Sun Prairie,  we recruit, train, and match tutors with
struggling students to ensure that all students are adequately prepared
to successfully complete algebra and other academic subjects when they
enter high school. In fall of 2008, the United Way extended the SOH
Middle School program to offer tutoring services at Oregon Middle
School.
