The Children’s Education Project

We believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. The Children’s Education Project connects students with dedicated volunteer tutors who provide academic support, mentorship, and encouragement. By working together, we strengthen not only individual students but also families and communities.

Serving Students in West Oakland

Building Strong Foundations

One semester at a time, our tutors help K–5 students grow in reading, writing, and confidence.

Learning Together

Dedicated tutors and curious students create a fun, supportive space for growth and discovery.

Consistency Creates Success

With semester-based tutoring, students receive steady support that leads to lasting progress.

Join a Team Of Dedicated Tutors


We know life can be busy, and not every tutor can commit to a full school year. That’s why we now offer semester-based tutoring.

Tutors can choose to volunteer during the Fall Semester or the Spring Semester, giving them the chance to make an impact while balancing school, work, and other commitments.

Even in just one semester, our tutors help K–5 students build confidence, strengthen skills, and discover a love for learning. Every hour you give makes a difference.

Make an Impact from Anywhere

Tutors don’t have to be local to make a difference. With our virtual tutoring program, volunteers can support K–5 students in reading and literacy through Zoom. We provide the training, lesson plans, and resources you’ll need—so all you have to bring is your time, energy, and passion for helping kids succeed.

Virtual tutoring is flexible, accessible, and a powerful way to give back whether you’re across town or across the country.
