Connecting Chicago

Our Story

Founded in March 2020 by two passionate students from Walter Payton High School, Connecting Chicago is on a mission to combat educational inequity. This student-led nonprofit is the largest of its kind in Chicago, providing free virtual 1:1 tutoring for students from Kindergarten through 12th grade.

Our Impact

In just our first year, Connecting Chicago has successfully tutored over 850 students from diverse neighborhoods across the city. Our dedicated volunteers, who are current high school, undergraduate, or graduate students, are trained to deliver high-quality instruction in various subjects including Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and foreign languages.

Why Donate?

Connecting Chicago's mission is clear: to provide high-quality educational services at no cost to students in need. With the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis, the need for our services is more critical than ever. Your generous donations, whether in cryptocurrency or cash, will help sustain and expand our tutoring programs, ensuring that every student has access to the educational support they deserve.
