It’s been… Challenging?
Happy New Year! By now, you’ve probably seen on every social media account I have (which is too many) that I am in the process of starting a nonprofit, TriTogether Corp. The inspiration for this can’t really be pinpointed, by the final straw was TriTutoring’s fundraiser for The Gifted Crate. When you take a step back and remember that there are kids who don’t get to feel special on their birthdays, educators are forced to take an extra step: how on Earth can these kids be expected to fully embrace their education when they don’t know where they’ll be sleeping?
Long story short, TriTogether will aim to match up and support volunteers and students and provide academic services. Our goal is to work with students who cannot access tutoring due to cost or accessibility and whose circumstances make it difficult for them to get the most out of their in-school education.
TriTutoring is something I truly believe in. I believe some students need additional support, I believe in building confidence through a positive relationship with an educator, and I believe we can make a difference. TriTogether aims to give this same benefit to students who don’t have access to services like those that TriTutoring provides.
In 2022, TriTutoring will give 25% of profits to get TriTogether off the ground. Interested in getting involved. Know anyone who may want to volunteer or help? Please learn more at www.tritogether.org and get in touch with me: hannah@tritogether.org
In 2022, I want to reach for what I know I’m capable of, while accepting that sometimes I’ll fail and fall, in all parts of my life. I wish you all a year of healthy growth, whatever that means to you. 2020 and 2021 cannot be summed up in one blog post, and “challenging” would be an understatement, but with a new business, new software job, new teaching position, and new home with my wife, I have to say it was definitely a time of growth. TriTogether is that next step, both for me personally and towards a goal of expanding educational support to more kids.
