CurrentStudent to Student aims to level the playing field for under-resourced middle school students who strive to gain entry into New York City's specialized public high schools by making academic resources available to low-income students. Student to Student partners with half a dozen NYC middle schools to provide Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT) tutoring to 60 rising 8th graders. The Student to Student leadership team has raised $21,000 and won the Dalai Lama Fellowship, the Teach for America Rising Leaders Fellowship, and the title of "Best Overall Venture" from the NYU Reynolds Change Maker Challenge. Specific duties include overseeing the development of the Student to Student curriculum, measuring the program’s impact, writing grants, raising funds, and training tutors. Curriculum areas include math, verbal reasoning, and academic mentoring.
