Operations Update: SENDforC is shifting to meet the new demands of virtual education amidst a rapidly shifting learning environment.

Our hearts go out to individuals and families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and wildfires along the West Coast. During a wide-scale shift toward virtual education, our SENDforC chapters have been quick to adapt, working with teachers, school-site administrators, and students to continue delivering valuable academic knowledge. Check in with your local SENDforC chapter to find out what they’ve been working on!

Particularly during times of heightened awareness for social injustice (ex. racial inequities, socioeconomic barriers, and the digital divide), SENDforC is dedicated to empowering our community through innovative and meaningful mentorship.

Approachable mentors.

As college students, SENDforC mentors uniquely connect with K-12 students through a greater sense of relatability. Mentors serve as more than mere educators by providing friendship, counseling, and support as students progress through elementary, middle, high school, and college.
