Donating is the best and easiest way to help The Rebel Academy. We rely on donations, grants, and agency contracts to keep our costs low for individual students who cannot afford private tutors at the going rate.
To donate on a recurring, monthly basis to support student scholarships, click here or use the QR code below.
If supporting students is not enough reason to support our work, your donations also help compensate our tutors, all of whom are formerly incarcerated, and all of whom have demonstrated inspiring and radical transformations since their sentencing. Thanks to donations and grants, we keep tutoring prices low for students, but are able to train, mentor, and pay our amazing tutors competitively for their expertise.
For more information about our founder, Lauren Zavrel’s work with incarcerated tutors and their enormous contributions to student success, check out our library below.
