Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The primary exempt purpose of Learning Unlimited is the advancement of education. Learning Unlimited's goal is to energize and revitalize education on a national scale. LU accomplishes this goal by organizing and supporting groups of university students that run educational programs for pre-college students. The programs LU supports teach middle and high school students about "everything and anything."

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Learning Unlimited supported the work of 28 student groups, some newly formed and some existing, running on-campus educational enrichment programs for middle and high school students. These were located at Granite Hills High School, University of Chicago, UCLA, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Oxford University, MIT, George Washington University, UC Merced, UC Berkeley, Northeastern University, Brandeis University, Florida Polytechnic University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Boston College, Columbia University, Duke University, Northwestern University, University of Southern California, Clark University, Amherst College, Rice University, UNC Chapel Hill, Princeton University, Cornell University, University of Maryland Baltimore County, University of Chicago, and Stanford University. Together, these groups served over 10000 pre-college students and engaged over 1200 volunteer teachers. Learning Unlimited expenses included maintaining a web server for student registration (and numerous volunteer hours to support the codebase), on-site visits to support program operation, maintaining guides and best practices for local leaders, a conference for program leaders, and program mentoring.$0$19,816
