quaranTEEN Learning is a free online tutor/mentorship service available to all B.C. students currently in grades 4 - 7. Our team is completely made up of youth volunteers who are passionate towards providing students in B.C. a source of learning and mentorship during the school closures.
Our mission is to help provide another source of learning for students, as well as a connection in the community to help foster solidarity during these uncertain times. We hope to achieve this by setting up free online tutoring and mentorship sessions to provide a space where students can talk to other youths. During this period of self-isolation, we believe that collaboration and communication are essential to help boost morale, as well as to help spread knowledge and ideas.
We envision an active, relevant and supportive network that empowers youth across Canada to become responsible and driven leaders who are at the forefront of making a social difference.
EDU Beyond is a non-profit online tutoring initiative with the goal of minimizing educational disparity for K-12 students through an internationally connected network of learners.
We believe that education has become an increasingly pressing matter, especially considering the limiting effects of COVID-19 on student-tutor interactions. Students who have had past difficulties in a regular school setting may face even harsher setbacks due to the quarantine environment.
With that in mind, we at EDU Beyond saw the need to create an accessible, free, and more personalized platform for students to voice their academic concerns, providing learners with an easy way to supplement the presently rigid online school system while giving tutors volunteering opportunities to give back to their younger peers.
We are a grassroots member-led non-profit, and we offer free or by donation yoga classes and a subsidized Yoga Teacher Training. We believe that yoga and every healing modality must be available to everyone. Period.

The Pathways to Education program takes a holistic approach to address the challenges students face. There are four components to the Pathways to Education program, which are tutoring, mentoring, immediate financial supports, and one-on-one support. We look to support each student broadly through the 4 supports and at the same time, shift the way we work with each student based on their individual needs. We support students with challenges they face individually, at school, and in the community by working together with the families, the schools, and other community-based organizations.
