Every Child in DC
A Chance to Succeed
2 out 3 DC students — 60,000 kids — need extra academic support! Many more just need an extra caring adult in their lives.
DCTMI matches volunteer tutors and mentors with our nonprofit partners based on volunteers’ schedules, locations, and preferences. In doing so, we can transform education and create a community grounded in empathy that works for everybody.
