How Does Math Motivators Relate to the Actuarial Profession?

An important goal of Math Motivators is to further the actuarial profession. Actuaries who participate in the program as volunteer tutors help to raise awareness of the actuarial career and represent the profession as positive role models. Math Motivators also gives actuaries the opportunity to develop relationships with actuarial students at local universities, resulting in organic networking to recruit new talent.

How Has Math Motivators Grown?

Because of your generous donations, we’ve expanded this award-winning tutoring program from 2 cities to 7 cities. We’ve increased the number of volunteer tutors from 200 to almost 1,000. We’ve gone from helping 310 students in 6 high schools to more than 700 students in 20 middle schools and high schools.

Most important, we want to help more than 1,000 students improve their math skills and introduce them to the actuarial profession.
