Operations Update: SENDforC is shifting to meet the new demands of virtual education amidst a rapidly shifting learning environment.
Our hearts go out to individuals and families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and wildfires along the West Coast. During a wide-scale shift toward virtual education, our SENDforC chapters have been quick to adapt, working with teachers, school-site administrators, and students to continue delivering valuable academic knowledge. Check in with your local SENDforC chapter to find out what they’ve been working on!
Particularly during times of heightened awareness for social injustice (ex. racial inequities, socioeconomic barriers, and the digital divide), SENDforC is dedicated to empowering our community through innovative and meaningful mentorship.

What is SENDforC about?
Student-led education.
We find the most passionate mentors to teach what they love to learn, resulting in engaging and ambitious curriculum to challenge and inspire.
Approachable mentors.
As college students, SENDforC mentors uniquely connect with K-12 students through a greater sense of relatability. Mentors serve as more than mere educators by providing friendship, counseling, and support as students progress through elementary, middle, high school, and college.
Creative curriculum.
With guidance from our coordinators, SENDforC mentors are able to deliver challenging curriculum in a creative fashion, introducing young students to content which outpaces typical classrooms.
Research-based teaching.
SENDforC lessons focus on guiding students through the process of research, training a process of organic discovery that can be extended to all learning, current and future.
Inspiring innovation.
SENDforC members — university mentors and K-12 students alike — have gone on to pursue award-winning research and community improvement efforts. Several of them became successful companies!
