This paper presents details about a summer instructional program created by physics graduate students who sought a chance to help students from the local community and to gain greater experience teaching science and math. The students initiated, designed, and conducted the program, which gave the instructors their first chance to independently design curricula and prepare lessons. Although results indicate the program successfully met the desired goals, we outline some of the problems encountered and solutions we plan to implement in upcoming summers. We present these details to encourage and assist others to develop similar programs that can assist in educating secondary students while providing valuable teaching experiences for undergraduate and graduate students.
