The Learning Club: Empowering Future Educators

The Learning Club in Kansas City, Kansas, has been empowering children from low-income families for over two decades through free after-school tutoring and mentorship. Starting with just fourteen kids, theyve grown to serve nearly six hundred students across fifteen locations. Their programs include in-school reading, middle school initiatives, and a high school internship and scholarship program, aiming to cultivate future educators from within the community. The impact of their one-on-one attention is profound, fostering relationships that build confidence and a sense of belonging. Ari Alterman, a senior at Sumner Academy, is a testament to this, having been inspired by her own mentorship experiences to pursue a teaching career.
