Black Tutors of Social Media brings together other black-owned private tutoring resources in one marketplace to serve students globally. The goal is to close achievement gaps for students that all providers of BTSM serve within the community at large. Through six types of community programming, we will continue to close belief and opportunity gaps as well.
The six programs that we offer and that individuals can donate to are the following:
- Free Tutoring Services: Free tutoring services for STEM subject areas for economically disadvantaged and underprivileged minorities. This program allows donations for students who would not be able to afford tutoring services. Rules and guidelines will apply to receive these services.
-
Financial Literacy Programming: This program allows donations for students to attend workshops, panel discussions, and be taught about checkbook balancing, banking, investing (stocks/mutual funds), wealth management, real estate, credit cards, and credit management. Target is Middle School to College students .
-
Entrepreneurship Programming: This program allows donations for students to learn about the crazy path of entrepreneurship. Students will be able to learn about standing up a business and setting up a name (DBA, LLC, S Corp, C Corp, etc), trademarks/copyrights, operations, marketing/advertising, sales, HR and team building, PR, venture capital, crowdfunding, and more.
-
College Tours: This program allows donations for students to visit colleges all across the country to learn about campuses, campus culture, student life, fraternity/sorority life, academics, and more. The colleges will be comprised of HBCUS, Ivy Leagues, Top STEM schools, and Top Arts colleges.
-
Mentoring: This program allows donations for students to get mentored on their careers and personal situations through different partner mentoring organizations. This will also include self care and mental health additives.
-
Travel Programming: This program allows donations for students to travel OUTSIDE of their comfort zones as many minority students don’t get the opportunity to travel out of their cities and let alone their states. Students need to open up their minds and see different cultures, ways of life, values, mannerisms, traditions, and more to be able to appreciate diversity in more ways. Travel will be domestic within the 50 states and international. So, students WILL need a passport.
