Helping in any way we can

What Makes DC Tutoring and Mentoring Initiative Unique

To paraphrase Martin Luther King, we believe that we CAN learn to live and work together as brothers and sisters to create a better world for all and close the gap between our scientific progress, on the one hand, and our moral and spiritual progress on the other.

  • Matching Volunteers

    You tell us when and where you can help and about your talents and interests. We will then match you with one of our 50+ partners that serve kids who need your help.

  • Providing Resources

    Don’t feel ready to tutor or mentor? Join our mailing list, learn more about our partners and browse our resources, or help out in other ways.

  • Assisting Parents
