Connecting Education


  • Mission

    ConnectEd connects older student volunteers with younger learners who need academic support, completely free. We exist to eliminate the education inequality gap by making quality 1-on-1 tutoring accessible to every student, regardless of income, geography, or background.

    About Us

    ConnectEd is looking for motivated middle and high schoolers who want to make a real difference while building their own resume and leadership experience.

    As a ConnectEd tutor, you will be matched 1-on-1 with a younger student who needs academic support in STEM or core subjects. You will earn verified volunteer hours, gain hands-on mentorship experience, and have the opportunity to advance to Senior Tutor and take on leadership roles within the organization.

    No prior tutoring experience is required. We provide onboarding, structure, and ongoing support from our leadership team. All sessions are held virtually, so you can volunteer from anywhere on a schedule that works for you.

    This is more than just logging hours. ConnectEd tutors are making a measurable impact on real students who need support. Our tutors have helped students go from failing to passing, and from feeling lost to feeling confident.

    Whether you need community service hours or just want to give back in a meaningful way, ConnectEd is the opportunity for you.
