More than 200 people were on hand at Claremont Graduate University’s President’s House on November 10 as Claremont After School Programs, more commonly, CLASP, honored volunteers including Jim Keith for their service to the educational nonprofit. Keith has served CLASP for many years as a tutor coordinator, site supervisor, and board member. CLASP was formed 19 years ago with a focus on providing academic support for the city’s elementary school students. The all-volunteer staff donates more than 10,000 hours of their time to the program each year, serving about 70 students, offering help with homework, tutoring, and enrichment activities.Courier photos/Peter Weinberger
