The MIT Community Service Fund supports the efforts of MIT students and colleagues working directly with people in need.
MIT volunteers serve food at the MIT Soup Kitchen, Project Manna, and Community Cooks. They are counselors and mentors at Camp Kesem, a college student-run summer camp for kids with a parent who has cancer. They teach, tutor, and mentor underserved students through programs like Amphibious Achievement, Read to a Child, Tutoring Plus, ReachOut. They encourage students’ interest in math, science, and engineering through MITxplore, DynaMIT, Club de Ciencias, and the TTT Mentor Program; they build girls’ confidence through SHINE for Girls and the MIT Women’s Initiative.
