The goal of the Peabody Volunteer Tutoring Organization (PVTO) is to create an intricate network of recent high school alumni and current students who are pursuing or plan on pursuing degrees at various postsecondary institutions and are eager to promote the values of education to the current generation of students. We fully understand the intrinsic power and value of education and believe that it should be easily accessible to all students, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, economic class, immigration status, or nationality. In addition, we understand it to be self-evident that education is a fundamental human right and not a commodity for privatization. Hence, education must be guaranteed to all – free of cost. Under these principles, the PVTO dedicates its full capacity to providing free and quality academic enrichment to all students who are struggling in their core subjects or who are simply interested in developing the skills essential for entering their next year of elementary and secondary schooling, college, or a professional career.
