Awareness USA 2021 

Mentors with Heart

Awareness USA teachers and tutors strive to build positive long-term relationships with students and families who need it most.

Did you have a teacher in your life who inspired you and made you feel important? Every child deserves a chance for academic success, but the most meaningful connections are those made with the heart. At Awareness USA, we believe in lifting the spirit of the whole child. In addition to basic homework help, we offer students an opportunity to be heard and valued, long-term guidance with career and college application decisions, and monthly opportunities for mentoring, networking and community-building.

The Curious Case of the Case for Curiosity
