Neighbors in Action is an extension ministry of First Methodist Houston and operates as a non-profit organization.  Our ministry to the Port of Houston area began in 1994 as an outreach by the youth department.  In 1998 we began the Wednesday night program PORT, or "People On the Right Track".  In 2004, we incorporated as a non-profit.

Work with a small group of students as they build their math, science, reading and writing skills. No training necessary. A teacher will present a lesson to the students and tutors. The tutors then assist the students with reinforcement activities.

Tutorials take place at Port Houston Elementary School (1800 McCarty, 77029) are held Saturday mornings from 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Dates for this fall 2011 are TBD.
