Academic Allies provides academic and social support to middle and high school students at the A. Quinn Jones School through individualized tutoring, mentorship, encouragement, and meaningful connections with University of Florida student volunteers.
Academic Allies is a student-led organization dedicated to providing academic and social support to underserved middle and high school students attending the A. Quinn Jones School. We support students who are preparing to transition back into traditional public school settings, helping them feel more confident and supported both academically and personally.
Through individualized and small-group tutoring, primarily in reading and math, our volunteers provide consistent academic support while also serving as mentors and positive role models. Through tutoring, encouragement, motivational conversations, and mentorship, we help students strengthen their academic skills, build confidence and resilience, and recognize their potential for future success. Academic Allies also promotes educational equity by connecting university student volunteers with students who may benefit from additional academic resources and positive social support.
