Mission: While schools are going virtual and camps and classes are shutting down, we must recognize how necessary it is to continue educating and enriching our young children. Education should go far beyond the depths of material typically taught in school environments: it should be engaging, entertaining, and new. We seek to provide this experience for a generation of young students by allowing high school students to teach online classes on their chosen topic. As we use paid services to operate, we would appreciate any amount of donations! We are accepting donations through Donorbox on our website or through Venmo, @Project-EngageNJ.
Results: We have had a total of 1441 registration from 371 families. 30 instructors have taught with us over the sessions. We have offered over 25 class topics.
Target demographics: students during this pandemic
Geographic areas served: New Jersey
Programs: classes in topics untaught in schools such as Animation & 3D Modeling, astronomy, and speech and debate.
ProjectengageNJ is a great nonprofit that I recommend to all, whether it be volunteers or students. On either side you learn valuable life skills such as communication or education. Especially on the volunteer side, projectengage makes it extremely easy to help people from your community and teach them new skills. Furthermore the students get tutoring for free while volunteers get to give back to their community which is a win-win. Therefore projectengageNJ truly brings communities together.
Project Engage NJ is an all-inclusive nonprofit that serves to benefit ALL parties involved! Instructors are enriched with volunteering hours while simultaneously improving on their communication skills. On the other hand, learners are being enriched with high-quality tutoring that is otherwise charged at an expense. Project Engage is an all around great nonprofit!
Project Engage is a great way to earn community service hours by doing something you're passionate about. The members are extremely friendly and welcoming. They make the process easy and get you straight to teaching. They let you choose the subject and age group you would like to teach.

Project Engage NJ is a great example of a good idea put into place to become an amazing organization! It is hard to create a platform like this for young children to take free courses, but they did it. It is clear that every student, parent, and instructor is cared for by Project Engage.
