The future is BRIGHT, my friends! Meet two women teen entrepreneurs who found a silver lining in the pandemic madness by creating a project to help hundreds of elementary students around the globe.
Sarah Shapiro and Skye Loventhal, the two women teen entrepreneurs started the Covid NineTEEN Project, which provides FREE teen-led activities and one-on-one tutoring meant to support elementary school students.
The Covid NineTEEN Project is a group of motivated teens who are using this valuable time to make a difference in the world.
They hope to serve as mentors for elementary school children to help them fill their time and continue to flourish despite the uncertainty of the outside world.
I’m specifically passionate about combating educational inequalities. Since we’re both daughters of educators, we saw firsthand how students were really struggling to adapt to distance learning because they no longer had the one-on-one support that they needed and all of their extracurriculars and summer plans were canceled. Kids no longer had that outlet to pursue those other talents that they have, those other curiosities. What we decided to do was create something called the Covid NineTEEN Project, and it’s a teen-run initiative where we have daily activities and one-on-one tutoring for kids. — Sarah Shapiro, Founder, Covid NineTEEN Project
