Our Educational Mission |
All PrepCorps profits beyond compensating our GRE/GMAT tutors and operating costs go towards the Superkids Foundation, which promotes education and violence prevention in Paraguay.

Bringing Change to ParaguayPrepCorps is dedicated to developing sustainable, community-driven educational programs in Paraguay that emphasize life skills and nonviolence. Our founder, Estee, describes her involvement with the cause:
"When I did the Peace Corps in Paraguay, it didn't take me long to discover that abuse is rampant in Paraguay. UNICEF estimates that 60% of Paraguayan children experience abuse at home. I wanted to do something more, but didn't want to become another ineffective development organization -- so I went back to the U.S. to get corporate experience so that I could bring private sector tools to create effective change for my children in Paraguay." |
I started PrepCorps to leverage the high margins of the test prep industry for the children of Paraguay. Our goal is to generate thousands of dollars per year in funding for literacy, life skills, and violence prevention programming. The Superkids Foundation has already worked with 1200 children and has gotten tremendous community support. A huge thank you to our tutors, students, and support staff for making this happen! |
