Swim 4 Success, Changemaker Institute Alum, provides free swimming lessons to youth who qualify for free or reduced lunch programs. It’s run solely by college students from Tulane, Loyola, and UNO; if you’re a student at any of these universities, you probably heard of the community service student organization on campus.

It’s been especially popular with Tulane students. The program has institutionalized feedback as it holds periodic interviews with the student teachers. The university students truly bond with their children partner, and most students choose to pair up semester after semester.

Check them out on Nola.com and on Facebook!
