CONNECTING CHICAGO

Created in March of 2020 by two Walter Payton High School students, Connecting Chicago is dedicated to combating educational inequity by providing free virtual 1:1 tutoring for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. We are the largest student-led nonprofit in Chicago. In our first year, Connecting Chicago has provided tutoring for more than 1,250 students from neighborhoods across Chicago. All volunteers are current high school, undergraduate, or graduate students, and are trained by the organization to provide high-quality instruction in Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and foreign languages.
