The closure of schools that began in the spring has served to only widen the educational gap between economically disadvantaged students and others. With school closures taking place for the foreseeable future it is imperative that we give economically disadvantaged students the attention they need to not fall behind.Pandemicprofessors.org, a 501c3 organization, was founded in April by Berkeley alumni to achieve the mission of facilitating free online tutoring to low-income communities affected by the pandemic. It is a 100% volunteer-based organization. Our philosophy not only supports academic achievements, but also emphasizes the importance of socio-emotional health in these isolating times.
We currently serve over 115 underserved students with the help of 150 dedicated volunteer staff and tutors. With the significant demand that we are seeing, we want to be able to serve more families and communities in need. We need your help!
With the huge influx of students, we are asking people to volunteer with us.
Being an online tutor:
As a tutor, you are the lifeblood of this organization and are the one delivering services. You will interact with families and help the student perform and learn!
We are especially looking for coding tutors, as we have seen the benefits and need for under-resourced students to gain skills related to the tech industry.
Requirements:
-2 or more hours per week commitment (flexibility for job requirements, midterms and finals)
-Tutoring experience is helpful but not required. We offer training and support.
Benefits of joining Pandemic Professors:
-Improve diversity & inclusion in the tech industry by fostering hard skills and a sense of belonging in students from communities who are historically under-represented in tech.
-Learn by teaching! Teaching others is a great way to improve your own skills. Teach at many levels, from introductory coding in languages like Scratch to more advanced levels (e.g.,Python, Java)
-Flexible schedule: volunteer any day of the week, any time of day, wherever you are! We have volunteers from around the globe and students on many different time zones.
-Get recognized for your volunteer work with letters of recommendation for grad school; recognition on our website or social media; references for job applications; and more!
This is not only a way to help those in need and to benefit your personal resume, but also a way to build community. We are here to support each other through this time as well and hope you join us!

Our first goal is to restock the bags used for our volunteer teachers to teach the Healthy Choices Healthy Relationships class for all of our area 9th grade students. The second goal is to reorganize our office space and transform it so that we can do virtual teaching out of our office for the schools that are not currently allowing volunteers into the schools. Pivoting to the online platform while still engaging our volunteers is important for our small non-profit's survival. Having some extra hands to be able to do this means that we can start our curriculum soon rather than later.
