Moshe Ohayon of Louisville Finds Creative Ways to Help Students



Moshe Ohayon of Louisville, KY, is the founder of the Louisville Tutoring Agency (LTA), a learning center designed to prepare students for college and beyond. He’s also the founder of Educational Justice, a nonprofit organization that provides tutoring and supplemental academic help to the region's low-income students. Educational Justice relies on donations and volunteers. Because of the organization’s limited resources, Ohayon sought a way to help more of the bright but underserved students he worked with regularly. Ohayon came up with EJ Activists, a new program that connects exceptional high school students with underserved middle school students struggling in school for one-on-one tutoring and academic mentoring.
