Connect Me Tutoring is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides free, online, 1 on 1 tutoring to K-8 students who fit at least one of the following criteria:

1) The student lives in a low-income household.

2) One or more parents/guardians in the student's household is a frontline worker.

3) The student attends or has attended online school due to COVID-19.

As of November 2025, our team of 600+ college & high school volunteers have provided over 40,000 free tutoring sessions to over 3000 students in 43 states & 12 countries, and we don't plan on stopping soon. We are the largest student-run free tutoring platform in the US.

However, our organization faces several major financial concerns that create barriers to the education we provide:

1) Technology & Zoom: To maintain reliable, high-quality tutoring sessions, we must cover the costs of Zoom licenses, upgraded bandwidth, and essential technological tools that allow our tutors to work efficiently and ensure students have a smooth, uninterrupted learning experience.

2) Main Website fees: Connect Me is responsible for paying multiple website & domain fees that keep our servers up & running fast for any new students & tutors who'd like to register.

3) Student Outreach: As an organization, we need to reach out to the students who need us most - those in rural, socioeconomically disadvantaged areas who have fallen behind since COVID-19 school shutdowns. While we have several outreach campaigns planned, they require funding.

The second semester is coming up, and so is the influx of students we're expecting! We'd appreciate any donation to help Connect Me continue to fulfill our mission of supporting students as a community of passionate volunteers. Thank you :)
