PERFECT PAIRINGS – SUPPORT OUR FUND-A-PAIR CAMPAIGN

Can’t join us at Perfect Pairings?

You can still be part of the impact.

Even if you’re unable to attend our Perfect Pairings event, you can help make the evening, and our mission, a success by supporting our Fund-A-Pair Campaign.

Your gift helps Healthy Cities Tutoring continue providing free, one-to-one tutoring for students in San Carlos and Redwood City. Each week, our volunteer tutors show up to support students who are struggling in school by building confidence, strengthening skills, and helping them rediscover the joy of learning.

Every donation makes a difference. Consider supporting a student-tutor pair at one of our Fund-A-Pair levels:

$1,000 – Funds one student–tutor pair for one year
$500 – Funds one student–tutor pair for six months
$250 – Supports tutor training events and program materials

When struggling students succeed, our whole community benefits.

Thank you for helping make this work possible.

the life you change Could be your own

Volunteering has well-documented benefits — improves mental and physical health, provides a sense of purpose, and helps nurture new and existing relationships — all of which lead to an overall sense of well-being and contribute meaningfully to the betterment of society. Becoming a volunteer tutor with HCT is a great way to experience these benefits, helping students and yourself!

We are actively recruiting volunteers for the 2025/26 school year! It’s easy to sign up and we work hard to find a student who matches your availability and interests.

Flexible schedule — sign up to volunteer for one hour per week. Times vary by school site; mostly on weekdays, 3pm – 6pm. Some weekend times are available.
Tutors of all ages are needed! We have a special program for teen tutors and provide additional training and mentoring so these valuable volunteers can learn important life skills while helping students.
Training and support provided. We provide one-on-one and group sessions where you can work with HCT staff to be the best volunteer tutor possible!
