Paper Airplanes is a non-profit organization that provides free, one-on-one language and skills learning for individuals whose education has been interrupted due to conflict.

In the six years since our inception, we have served more than 2,000 students with 90% of students reporting significant improvement within a semester.

We are currently looking for volunteer English tutors for our students! No previous experience tutoring is required.
