Educere - to teach or draw out
We are a program that connects students of all ages from elementary to high school to post-secondary. With small learning groups to motivate and inspire students, we mentor each other in topics that matter to us, to learn and grow together. Educere hopes to create a safe, positive and an open environment for youth to be comfortable to ask questions and get involved.
Our Goals
Our primary goal is to work with youth and help them run their own educational workshops with their peers. Focusing on STEAM initiatives, preparing for school, and expanding into other scopes that matter to the students. As with our parent group, Let's Get Together, we strive to build an enriching community amongst the students and support youth in achieving their full potential and problem solving how to overcome barriers that exist.
Let's Get Together
This initiative is spearheaded and supported by Let's Get Together, a nonprofit organization committed to making access to technology and learning more accessible and equitable for youth, parents and communities.
Lets Get Together envisions a world where every youth has equal opportunity to pursue higher education with no barriers and purposeful support.
Testimonials
Educere ran a Q&A session for parents on how to support their children in finding funding for their post-secondary path. Here's what they thought!
"I attended Michaela's discussion today on how to fund post-secondary education. Michaela did a wonderful job explaining the scholarship process, showing us the different university sites, how to navigate them and offered tips on what she learned. It was helpful to see her 4-year school budget, and hear her personal journey through school and perspective on extra curricular activities. I feel more knowledgeable and confident with starting discussions on the topic of school and finance with my son. I'm so glad I attended the session and encourage more parents and youth to join. Thank you, Michaela!"
