As report cards loom on the horizon, parents of middle schoolers should take note of an exciting opportunity for academic support for their students.
Educational Justice (EJ), a local non-profit, is offering free, personalized tutoring for 5th-8th graders in the greater Louisville area. Through this initiative, middle school students can access one-on-one, online tutoring in subjects like math, science, English, and even Spanish.
High school students, trained as tutors, work with their younger peers, helping them with homework, test preparation, and skill-building. In addition to academic gains, students also form meaningful friendships, making the program a unique space for personal growth.
Since 2016, EJ has provided nearly 40,000 hours of free tutoring to almost 3,000 students. The program operates through a secure, interactive online platform, giving students access to essential educational tools.
Bryan Warren, Executive Director of Educational Justice, said, “Our commitment is to provide equitable access to education for all students, ensuring they have the resources to succeed.”
Applications are now open for middle school students and high schoolers interested in volunteering. Visit educationaljustice.org or contact 502-233-1220 for more details.
