Our mission

EVkids empowers inner-city Boston youth with the skills and confidence needed to realize their potential.
Opportunities

EVcorps Tutor

EVcorps tutors are students recruited from top universities who commit to a multi-year, one-on-one tutoring and mentoring relationship with an inner-city child or teen. EVcorps tutors partake in ongoing trainings and reflections with peers on their service experience. EVcorps tutors average two years of service and graduate from EVkids to become life-long agents of positive social change.

About us

Through the weekly after-school Tutoring Program, annual Camp in the summer, and the College Success Project for high schoolers, EVkids provides a continuum of services to help low-income, academically vulnerable children and teens (beginning in grades 4-12) succeed in school and life by systematically strengthening core academic skills, organizational habits, and other life skills. By building a caring community of support, where success is expected and achievable together, we believe our EVkids and their EVcorps tutors will become integral parts of a more socially just and compassionate world.
