Math multiplies a student’s future opportunities.
Math is important in school and beyond. Proficiency is linked to high school graduation, college enrollment, and even lifetime earnings! But in the United States 72% of students reach the 8th grade without learning to do essential math proficiently.
Together, we can change this! The amazing thing about Math Corps is that we train ordinary people to make an incredible impact providing math tutoring to students. Math Corps is one of the most effective and efficient math tutoring programs in the country.

In collaboration with the University of Minnesota, Math Corps is offering an exciting new pathway to becoming a teacher. The Minnesota Grow Your Own Teacher (MNGOT) is focused on preparing new educators and helping address a growing teacher shortage in Minnesota.
Rooted in service, the program is designed to build on Math Corps experience and be completed while serving as a tutor. The five-semester program is 36 credits and prepares participants for K-6 licensure. Coursework is completed through a hybrid model that includes weekly online classes and in-person learning twice a semester. Generous scholarships are available through the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities College of Education and Human Development to cover the costs of tuition.
