Erik Kimel launched Peer2Peer Tutors as teenager. At 16, he knew fellow students entrenched in academics were the best resource for struggling students. Throughout college Kimel kept at the organization he founded and is now the CEO at age 25. He not only provides academic help for kindergartners though college age but continues to employ youth as tutors starting at $12 an hour:
Peer2Peer also offers a sorely needed employment opportunity for young people, in an economic climate that has been especially tough on teens and college students. The tutoring company is poised to create 500 youth jobs.The organization is for-profit with a social mission. Philanthropic efforts include donating 1% of its revenue to the communities it serves with free tutoring and services in Virginia and areas of Maryland and Connecticut tutoring Title 1 students free of charge.
