Rock Star Supply Co.

Rock Star Supply Co. is a nonprofit organization that improves educational outcomes for at-risk teens by engaging local college students and fun professionals in our tutoring program. We believe anyone who wants to change a teen’s life is a rock star, and since 2009, we’ve supplied those individuals to Twin Cities high schools.

By bringing volunteer tutors (aka Rock Stars) to the classroom, we provide support to teachers so they can more effectively engage their students. Our Rock Stars work with at-risk students so they can catch up on assignments, develop a passion for learning, and meet interesting adults along the way.

This year we’re excited to continue our programming at Como Park Senior High School in Saint Paul and are expanding to Roosevelt High School and two public libraries in Minneapolis.

Why are we expanding? Because the demand is high. Let us remind you of all that we accomplished last year:

• Over 1,000 hours of in-school tutoring delivered to 100 students by 60 Rock Star tutors
• 90% of our students had an increase in GPA of half a point
• Over 50% felt more confident in school because of their Rock Star tutors

These results are awesome, but we are not one-hit wonder. We need your help to make a bigger impact this year.

What’s the word from Como Park Senior High?

“The Rock Stars helped me bring my grades up [last year]...They made homework fun.”
-- Maria, 16-years-old

"[Rock Stars] are really friendly. They weren't just like Well, can I help you? No! They wanted to get to know you. They wanted to see how you were doing and learn what else you're into...I even got life lessons from them."
-- Rachel, 17-years-old
