In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, a group of students from Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and Yale have created a free platform for pairing undergraduate mentors with K-12 students who have been affected by school closures. The goal of this virtual service is to provide a resource for students including tutoring, college preparation, and personalized mentorship.
