EduTutorVA Fifth Annual

Gala & Fundraiser

EduTutorVA hosted its Fifth Annual Gala and Fundraiser at Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, VA in April. We convened 150 state and regional leaders in education, business, government, and philanthropy to celebrate and advance our mission:


To provide high-impact virtual tutoring by trained college tutors to Virginia students in high-needs schools. 


Students in grades 3-8 receive targeted high-dosage tutoring for a year. Tutors from 14 VA colleges and universities receive workforce development and a positive introduction to the teaching profession.


Thanks to the generosity of individuals and corporations, we raised almost $200,000. Our fundraising continues...help us reach our goal of $250,000 this spring. We are grateful for your support!

Partners for Progress

Keynote by Tim Kaine,

U.S. Senator for Virginia 

We were honored to have Senator Kaine share his enthusiasm for EduTutorVA's work. Kaine's remarks underscored the value of our high dosage virtual tutoring model. The keynote remarks affirmed this win-win for Virginia: support for students placed at risk and leveraging tutors from VA colleges and universities -- improving both academic outcomes and the future workforce of the Commonwealth.


Partnership Award Presented to

Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS)

ACPS leaders and educators have been enthusiastic supporters of EduTutorVA since 2020. Our tutoring model is championed by ACPS for its contribution to student achievement and for the profound value a college mentor can provide young learners. Through the power of sixty virtual tutoring sessions, a committed young adult role model can change test scores -- and lives!
