Increasing the Impact of UMD’s PK-12 Tutors and Mentors is a Do Good Campus Fund Project led by the College of Education and the Office of Leadership & Community Service-Learning in the Stamp Student Union. This project aims to spark cross-divisional collaboration, invest in human and physical resources to close PK-12 educational gaps, and meet articulated local and campus needs. By creating and convening a UMD Tutoring and Mentoring Network, we aim to establish opportunities for communication and collaboration, share high-impact resources, and host a symposium to enhance university efforts with schools and educational non-profits.
