This past school year, EVkids sponsored 70 pairings — which means 140 people whose lives were changed! They enthusiastically anticpate 80 pairings for the 2017-2018 academic year.
Meet Heather Angell, Tutor Director/Chaplain on our EVkids page. She would love to connect with you about the next EVkids 'corps' and how you could make a difference in someone's life.

EVkids began in 1980 as "Earthen Vessels," an annual summer camp experience in Vermont for inner-city youth, led by founders Brian and Marie-Claude Thompson. Since its humble inception, EVkids has expanded its reach, partnering with Harvard in 1985 and Boston College (BC) in 2011.
The Harvard Catholic Center is delighted to continue this longtime partnership with EVkids in the Catholic social justice tradition. Today, EVkids is a unique one-on-one tutoring/mentoring program that recruits, guides, and matches volunteer college students - i.e. Harvard, BC, Tufts, and Boston University (BU) - with Boston's oppportunity youth. The tutors help students, in grades 4-12, to gain the skills, tools tools, and confidence that they need to navigate their academic careers, and life beyond.(l to r) Melissa Santizo '20 with one of her students.
