Columbia University Volunteer Tutor Corps
CVTC
Hello! We have rebranded. Please check out our new website at www.coveducators.org to get up-to-date information!
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY VOLUNTEER TUTOR CORPS
As the immediacy of COVID-19 persists in New York City and beyond, our lifestyles have undergone dramatic changes. As students at Columbia University, we have witnessed the closure of our campuses and those of other institutions at a time when continuing education has perhaps never been more vital.
Our essential workers are a testament to human resilience and they are each emblems of "New York tough." While they're saving other families, caring for their own becomes more difficult, so we wish to help.
Who We Are
AN ORGANIZATION CONNECTING CHILDREN OF NEW YORK CITY'S ESSENTIAL WORKERS AND UNDER-SERVED COMMUNITIES WITH STUDENTS AND FACULTY
WE OFFER FREE TUTORING FOR FAMILIES OF NYC'S ESSENTIAL WORKERS
SO FAR, OVER 300 CHILDREN HAVE RECEIVED ACADEMIC SUPPORT THROUGH OUR PROGRAM
EVEN IN THE WAKE OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, QUALITY EDUCATION CAN STILL CONTINUE

** The gravity of current events has compelled us to think really critically about our roles as CVTC in relation to injustice. We have compiled a list of Children's Book that address race and racism. CVTC is also in the process of creating a social justice oriented class.**

“Working with the corps gave me the opportunity to see ideas through fresh (and young!) perspectives, to support a work in progress, and to spread the love of learning."
