The City Tutors describes its mission as being NYC’s educational subway, offering free, flexible tutoring and career mentoring built for historically underserved communities and open to all. Its mission statement says it is available year-round across all five boroughs and that it helps people build skills, grow their networks, and chart their own paths. The organization states that its network works like the NYC subway—always in motion, always connected, and always reaching the people who need it most. It also notes a dual mission to enhance and expand academic support for under-resourced programs serving academically vulnerable students and to support whole families, including students, parents, and college learners and beyond.
The City Tutors reports that it serves students across the five boroughs and expands support by partnering with and staffing programs that work with underserved communities that have limited or no capacity to provide academic and professional support. It states that it enhances support by helping partner sites deliver support to the communities they serve and by empowering more New Yorkers to serve through tutoring and mentoring by offering training, developing a portfolio of site partnerships, focusing on tutors’ and mentors’ professional growth, and helping volunteers connect with like-minded individuals. The City Tutors, Inc. is a registered not-for-profit. The Executive Director and Founder is Garri Rivkin.
