LISAV

LISAV stands for Long Island Student Assistance Volunteer. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing academic support and enrichment programs to students in need across Long Island, New York. Founded with the belief that every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, LISAV mobilizes volunteers, primarily high school and college students, to serve as tutors and mentors. Their programs aim to address educational disparities and foster a love of learning.

The core services offered by LISAV include one-on-one tutoring in various subjects, homework assistance, and educational workshops. These services are typically offered free of charge to students from low-income families or those attending under-resourced schools. The organization often partners with local community centers, schools, and libraries to reach students and provide a safe and conducive environment for learning. Volunteers undergo training to ensure they are equipped to effectively support the students they work with.

LISAV's impact extends beyond academic improvement. By providing positive role models and a supportive learning environment, the organization also aims to build confidence, improve self-esteem, and encourage students to set and achieve their educational goals. The volunteer aspect of LISAV also provides valuable experience and community service opportunities for its student volunteers. The organization relies on donations, grants, and the dedication of its volunteers to sustain its operations and expand its reach throughout Long Island.
