"Two Long Island high school juniors are transforming their academic experiences into a mission to help others. Jonah Aloni of St. Anthony's High School and Liel Agajan, a student at Wheatley High School, have founded LIFT - Lead. Inspire. Foster. Thrive., a student-run organization dedicated to ensuring that children struggling in school can receive the academic support they need, regardless of financial circumstances."
"LIFT was created to eliminate cost as a barrier to learning by offering free tutoring to underprivileged students. The organization connects students in need with high school volunteers who provide academic support in core subjects, including math, science, English and social studies. "I'm lucky and have had the advantage of tutors when I needed them," said Jonah Aloni, co-founder of LIFT. "So many children are not that lucky.""
