Providing free tutoring from volunteer students for financially disadvantaged children in Germany
Studenten bilden Schüler supports low income young people with free tutoring provided by university students. Founded in 2012, the programme operates in seevral German cities and matched thousands of tutoring couples.
The Foundation’s support for SBS spanned 2022 and 2023 and helped SBS to recruit more students to its tutoring programme so that it can support more disadvantaged children, through marketing and awareness-raising. The organisation also used the grant to build recognition in universities to aid recruitment and so that volunteer tutors gain certifications.
The Foundation’s last grant helped to recruit 300 new tutors through social media advertisements and lowered the cost for attracting and retaining tutors, helping to underpin the organisation’s growth plans.
“The Hg Foundation is not just a sponsor, but a strategic partner by providing essential support to strengthen our online presence. This is especially important because online presence does not only mean to be found faster on Google, but to increase the awareness of “Studenten bilden Schüler e.V.”. Consequently, we can reach more students interested in educational justice, equal opportunities and thereby help more tutoring students”
