What we do

We believe every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and capable. The STEP Alliance provides free, high quality virtual tutoring and mentorship to K-8 students from under-resourced communities. Our STEP Kidz are matched with trained high school mentors who offer academic support, encouragement, and structured life skills lessons that go beyond the classroom.

Through weekly one-on-one sessions, drop-in homework help, and monthly group exam prep, our programs are designed to meet students where they are and help them grow academically, emotionally, and personally.

By building confidence and connection, we help our STEP Kidz tap into their full potential and take steps toward a brighter future.
