Learn About Us 🧐

Our Mission

To spark lifelong passion in young students by introducing them to diverse career paths through hands-on, student-led lessons that inspire curiosity, confidence, and purposeful learning.

How do we do it?

We collaborate with guest speakers and passionate high school students from across Illinois. They choose a topic they’re excited about, and we help them craft an engaging presentation and activity that both showcases their interests and helps younger students learn and enjoy the workshop.

How does it work?

Every weekend, we host engaging workshops led by guest mentors and passionate high school students from across Illinois. Each session focuses on a new topic, from computer science and healthcare to art, business, or engineering, giving students a wide view of possible career paths.

Why did we make this organization?

Many students don’t get the chance to explore different careers until high school, when decisions feel rushed and uncertain. We believe kids should discover their interests early, through hands-on learning that builds confidence, curiosity, and purpose for the future.

What‘s Our Mission? 🌎

Free workshops

At StudentTeachers, we believe learning should be free. We find joy in students who are able to find their own passions and apply themselves in order to succeed in all aspects of life.

Experienced Faculty

StudentTeacher handpicks guest speakers and volunteers to teach about advanced concepts in STEM, art, and much more. We find that this not only helps students learn better and gain an enjoyment for the subject being taught, but also makes tough concepts easier to learn.

Find Your Passion

StudentTeacher allows driven high school students and guest speakers to lead workshops in many different subjects, allowing students to explore a variety of different fields to find their own passions.

We‘re always kind!

Build Your Network

Workshops are often led by high-school students passionate about their field or professionals who have real life work experience. StudentTeacher allows young children to connect with professionals in any field they‘re interested in.

Volunteer Hours

Helping out at StudentTeacher counts as volunteer hours, which are often required to graduate and a good item to add on any college application.
