OUR MISSION & HISTORY
YEAR IN REVIEW
WHO WE ARE
Tutoring Plus is a local nonprofit that provides free programming to students
in grades 4-12. Our mission is to advance educational equity by supporting
youth in their academic, personal and social growth through free, individualized
tutoring, mentoring and enrichment programs. Our vision is a world where
every young person is empowered with the knowledge and confidence to create
their future. In order to create more equitable access, we offer free programming
within trusted neighborhood spaces and operate on our five key values of equity,
empowerment, authenticity, lifelong learning and collaboration.
We are one of the longest-running out-of-school time academic programs
for Cambridge students. In 1964, a group of mothers seeking academic support
for their children reached out to Massachusetts Institute of Technology
students. What began as tutoring sessions at kitchen tables has grown to a
center-based model that serves nearly 200 students each year. More than fifty
years after our founding, Tutoring Plus is still forging tutoring and mentoring
relationships between students and volunteers from universities, local compa-
nies and community partners.
