The Campaign

Join the Matching Club

In April 2026, Learn To Be's volunteer tutors — college students, working professionals, and retirees who already donate thousands of hours of their time — leveraged their own networks to raise $15,000 to keep students learning through the summer.

Brian & Jeannie were first to step up, committing $4,000 to match our tutors dollar-for-dollar. Now we're looking for 2–3 more donors to join the club and help us match the full $15K.

Summer 2026 Matching Campaign

Stop the Summer Slide

Every summer, millions of low-income students lose 2–3 months of learning while their more affluent peers pull ahead. Our tutors raised $15,000 to fight back.

Now we're doubling it.

The Impact

What $30,000 Makes Possible

When tutors' $15K meets your $15K match, the combined $30,000 unlocks a summer of learning for thousands of students. Here's the math:

The LTB Model

Learn To Be's cost per hour of tutoring is just $6.33 — because our tutors volunteer their time. Your donation doesn't pay tutors. It powers the platform, training, and support that makes 112,000+ hours of free tutoring possible every year.

The Problem

The Summer Slide Is Real

When school ends, learning doesn't just pause — it reverses. And it hits the kids who can least afford it the hardest.

Months of learning lost every summer for low-income students

Cumulative

The slide compounds year after year — by 5th grade, low-income students are nearly 3 years behind

The Ask

Can You Help?

Our tutors already gave their time and their money. Brian & Jeannie committed $4,000. We need 2–3 more donors to join the club and complete the $15K match.
