Developing Young Minds is offering to teach elementary students a range of subjects, from academic ones - math, English, science, history, computer science - to sports, to even the arts.
Aditya's club charges a small fee of $5 for 30-minute classes (due to the pandemic, currently performed in a virtual format over Zoom) and distributes 100% of the proceeds to the Oakland Public Education Fund, supporting children in impoverished communities and providing them with a better education. His club has raised over $300 to date for this cause in its short two-month existence and is looking to broaden its efforts by bringing more children on board.
Classes are typically one-on-one, with a max of two children per class and teachers can tutor students, strengthen their understanding of the subject, or even assist them in getting ahead. The six current high school instructors of Developing Young Minds are eager to share their passion, knowledge, and foster learning in a variety of subjects as well as supporting the noble cause of providing funding for education of children in underserved communities. Parents of pupils have been complimentary about their children's experiences with the program. For those who are interested in being a part of Developing Young Minds and its efforts in fostering education, community and diversity in society, please reach out to Aditya Kapur via email at aditya.kapur24@auhsdschools.org. |
