The Sorrisi Group is a student-run community service project in the Bay Area. Our goal is to provide free high school tutors to struggling students at local elementary schools. With budget cuts and larger class sizes, we understand that it is difficult to accommodate the individual needs of students. We greatly value the development of a positive attitude toward education at young ages and feel that every student in need should have access to the resources and the one-on-one attention to become a better student.
If you are a local high school student and wish to become a tutor or to become a representative for your school, feel free to email Ava Burnell (one of the student representatives from El Cerrito High) at avaburnell@yahoo.com or try to find your student representative at your high school:
El Cerrito High-Ava Burnell and Dzidi Djugba
Albany High-Ivory Beltran
Berkeley High-Francesca Kamio
Bentley-Kelatztli Mendoza
Oakland Tech-Cianna Williams
If you are a local elementary school teacher and would like the Sorrisi Group to help your school, please do not hesitate to email Ava Burnell at avaburnell@yahoo.com. We would love to help more kids.
Much thanks to our adult sponsor, Samantha Smiley (engineering student at Cal) for all of her support!
