Session Overview
I am seeking a conversation with professionals who have experience mobilizing a volunteer base in an urban region. The goal is to identify actionable steps that can be implemented in our outreach efforts in the Bronx for Learn To Be, a non-profit organization focused on providing free, 1-on-1 online tutoring to underserved youth.
I am in the process of executing a localized plan for canvassing the Bronx in the second half of this year. A critical component of this plan is the mobilization of volunteers, an area where I seek expert guidance. I've started by asking the politicians we are working with how they do it; however, their approach likely will not work for us.
If you have relevant experience and are interested in contributing, please contact me. Your expertise can greatly influence our approach and enhance our community impact.
Nonprofit Overview
Our mission is to provide 1-on-1 online tutoring to kids from under-resourced communities for free. Our tutoring support is not time-limited; we provide tutoring for as long as it takes for students to meet their goals. Sessions are 1-on-1, not in groups. Studies show that tutoring works best when provided in a private session. The sessions are always live, not pre-recorded, and take place in an online classroom with real-time interactions. Also, our students work with the same tutor each week. We believe that consistent, positive relationships have the power to change lives!
