OUR MISSION
Hi! We are a group of high school students from around Rochester Community Schools in the great state of Michigan. Our mission is to help rebuild our community in as many ways as possible while coming out of quarantine and self isolation and into a new "normal" life. Our goal is to create a unified, cohesive community that is able to come together and rely on each other in hard times, and amplify youth voices to allow them to make a change! We have created several programs to help residents of Rochester and nearby cities, especially those in need during the pandemic, such as children and the elderly. Our first program is a free online tutoring service for any students. We hope this helps you or your children in this time of need!
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
Throughout the pandemic everyone has struggled in some sort of way, and the only thing we can do is try to help those people. We know and acknowledge that everyone's situation is different, but we try to lend a helping hand wherever we can. We care about everyone in our community, and know that there may be little we can do to help, but we will still try to do it.
Due to these unprecedented times, students have been unable to attend school and receive in-person teaching from their instructors. Without personal attention, many students are falling behind in their studies, and may not be ready to start school in the fall leveling up another grade. We understand that many students may need educational assistance after being away from schools for so long. Studies have shown that kids do, in fact, need help with school through tutors, which will be in high demand. Instead of making you find them, we are offering them right here for your convenience.

HOW WILL WE GO ABOUT DOING THIS?
In order to effectively "Rebuild Rochester", we want to make this as easy as possible for everyone. For that reason, we have started a FREE tutoring program for any elementary, middle, or high school students who need it. Anyone who wishes to take advantage of this free program is welcome to sign up on this website. He or she will be matched up with one of our volunteers. Our volunteers will consist of high school students and alumni from Rochester Community Schools and nearby communities.
In addition to the free tutoring program, we will be offering new ways to continue to help rebuild our community. This will include ways to donate or volunteer your time! We have already completed so many successful projects and events to contribute to the community (see "Finished Projects"). Stay tuned as we create new programs and plans...
