Mission
The substantial adverse impact on a child's education caused by cancer diagnosis and serious lifelong illnesses –along with their subsequent treatment– has been extensively studied. Despite this, the educational needs of children and adolescents with such medical conditions have received insufficient attention. We are a non-profit organization [501(c)(3)] aiming to alleviate this issue by providing free tutoring assistance to children undergoing treatment for cancer, transplants, and lifelong illnesses.
​
Initiative
Outsmart is the only program in Michigan dedicated to providing free, individualized tutoring and educational support for children undergoing treatment for cancer, transplants, and lifelong illnesses. Our mission is to help bridge the gap in their education, enabling them to remain on par with their peers during and after treatment and foster long-lasting self-confidence socially and academically.
