Learn to Be
Learn To Be is a volunteer organization helping kids from underserved communities unlock their potential by connecting them with exceptional tutors online, for free. 72% of our tutors are high school students who log hours for a number of reasons including: class credits, community service, and resume building. Student tutors have the opportunity to positively impact someone’s life while achieving their own goals, and we have seen countless times that these relationships persist and give back to the tutors. All of the tutoring is done virtually using zoom or other open-source video conferencing tools.

SWR currently has over 100 people from various colleges and high schools working to address housing insecurity and education inequality in NYC through providing much-needed academic and emotional support to at-risk students.
