(Des Moines, Iowa) -- One Des Moines college student offering assistance to grade school students who attend school virtually during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Kali Douglass says her mother originally asked her to help out with her younger sister's online learning, and after a few weeks, enough people reached out to give Douglass the idea to expand. She rents out space at Franklin Jr. High School for her program, The Learning Pod, which offers socially distanced pods where students taking online classes can receive assistance on various subjects.
Douglas says The Learning Pod has room for five more students, and she'd like to see those spots to be used in a way that could financially assist someone. Anyone interested in the program can contact Douglass at kali.douglass@hotmail.com.
