The Talent Pledge Expanding your child's potential. Our Cause Tutoring your child will love. Ever since COVID-19 pandemic took over the planet, it also took essential learning opportunities from children all over Sudbury. The Talent Pledge's mission is to offer free, accessible, and quality tutoring opportunities to children that need it. Through this, we hope to help elementary-school students grow their potential and excel in their classes, without the need to pay. What we do Our organization hosts custom-length tutoring sessions (year round!) where children can sit down and learn with bright, high-school volunteers from their district. All of our tutoring is based off of local school curriculum, and is designed to be comprehensive and enjoyable for your child. If you're an older student eager to volunteer, or if you're a parent and want to sign your child up, this is the right program for you!
