Mission Statement
The S.T.E.P. Alliance aims to empower under resourced youth through exemplary tutoring services to prepare them for academic and personal success, while our volunteer mentors gain valuable leadership experience.
Program Breakdown
OUR PROGRAM
The S.T.E.P. Alliance provides free, recurring one-on-one virtual tutoring for students who would benefit from consistent academic support and mentorship. Students are paired with a volunteer mentor and meet at a regularly scheduled time throughout the program year.
WHO IT’S FOR
Our program is designed for students seeking ongoing support with academic challenges, skill development, or enrichment. Because sessions are recurring, students have the opportunity to build a strong relationship with a mentor who becomes familiar with their learning needs and goals.
HOW IT WORKS
Students are matched with a mentor based on their academic needs and availability. During each virtual session, mentors provide individualized support using the student’s submitted topic, current coursework, or enrichment resources. Parents or guardians submit the session topic in advance through the Parent Portal so mentors can prepare.
SCHEDULING
Recurring sessions are scheduled by The S.T.E.P. Alliance after enrollment and mentor matching. Families may request a scheduling change or cancel an upcoming session through the Parent Portal.
