It would be good if your non-profit's economic model eventually allows you to hire a core team of trained teachers and supplement with volunteers. You can also allow college students to mentor high school students for credit experience and offer a letter of experience.

We'd love to figure out ways to reward volunteers for their service via badges/certificates, letters of recommendation, or potentially even college credits (e.g., if we could convince teaching colleges to give their students credit for tutoring students on UPchieve)!

Recruiting retired teachers could be a good option for us too since they have the expertise of a highly trained teacher without the cost. At a minimum, I agree we need to invest even more into the training of the volunteers!
