As schools adapt to this time of remote-learning, students' learning may be impeded by the lack of in-class time. Helping Hands: A Students for Students Movement INC provides volunteers with a way to help during this pandemic by providing virtual tutoring services to students of all ages.  In addition, Helping Hands is also pursuing other virtual endeavors to help our community during this time..
