Students Supporting Students.
In the face of crisis, we must work together.
Right now, there are 800 million students not in school due to COVID-19. Many of those students do not have classes continued online, and are essentially forced to continue their education on their own. Many families are caring for sick members or busy trying to get food on the table & don’t have time to worry if a child’s worksheet is done. That’s where we come in.
We are… students helping students. Youth helping youth.
We are not curriculum based. Bring your schoolwork to us, and we will help you with it.

Our Philosophy:
We believe that education is one of the most important things in the world and believe wholeheartedly in Barack Obama’s belief that: “the future belongs to young people with an education and the imagination to create.” Education is simply a necessity and a right and cannot be sacrificed no matter the circumstances.
We recognize that families may be facing many challenges whether they be economic, food, resource, childcare instabilities or more. Our mission is to take the burden of making sure these families’ children are not falling behind in school off of the parent’s shoulders while also ensuring the children we serve are not suffering even more from Covid-19 by missing out on their educations.
By having students help other students, we can come together to share in the joys and importance of education. We’re all in this together, so let’s get through this together.
