Purpose
The primary purpose of Eugene School District 4J’s affinity groups is to provide time and space for students of shared affinities from our school communities to come together in an environment where they make up the majority. In addition, affinity groups help students develop healthy self-identity and build networks both within and beyond the group through sharing experiences and belonging strategies. A staff member/s at each school facilitates each affinity group while district program coordinators support each school-based program.

Hygge tutoring
Hygge tutoring
Hygge Tutoring is now providing free tutoring sessions for BIPOC and low-income students. Tutors are available for students who are in Pre-K to 9th grade. The mission at Hygge Tutoring is to close the gap of inequity regarding education. It's important that every student has access to equitable education and a student's potential for success should never be wasted over financial or systemic barriers. Even if you are not BIPOC or qualify as a low-income student, you can still sign up for our services. For now, our one on one tutoring sessions are hosted via Zoom to maintain social distancing
