Educational Support Tools

"Leveling the playing field for every learner."

Education doesn't begin and end in the classroom. It starts at home and thrives with support from the entire community. At Revilo Gives, Inc., we believe that every student deserves a fair chance to succeed, no matter their background or ZIP code. Our Educational Support Tools program is designed to bridge the gaps left by under-resourced schools and overwhelmed systems.

We provide access to:

  • School supply distributions throughout the year, not just in August

  • Referrals for one-on-one and group tutoring through certified educators and volunteers

  • Parent workshops on navigating educational pathways, special education rights, and scholarship opportunities

  • College and career readiness seminars, including how-to guides on FAFSA, trade school options, and dual enrollment

  • Access to hygiene and self-care kits, ensuring students can arrive at school clean, confident, and ready to learn

Many of the students we serve face challenges that go far beyond academics, housing insecurity, food instability, emotional stress, and a lack of mentorship. These factors often result in falling grades, absenteeism, or disengagement. That’s why our support services are holistic, addressing not just test scores but the real-life needs that affect academic performance.

When we remove even one barrier to education, we unlock a door to a student’s future.

By connecting students and families to vital resources, both academic and personal, we increase confidence, engagement, and graduation potential. Together, we can build a culture of encouragement where every learner feels supported, seen, and set up for success.
