In partnership with the Universidad de San Francisco in Quito, students from the University of Michigan partner with education students in Ecuador to hold a summer camp for underprivileged children each summer. The curriculum is student-developed with support from mentor faculty members and emphasizes the strengthening students' understanding of core academic subjects in reading, writing, mathematics and the sciences while encouraging creative expression and exploration, elevating the importance of academic performance, and boosting in-class self-confidence.  TQP's education component is a student initiative from the University of Michigan and Universidad de San Francisco de Quito that works to minimize the achievement gap in low income zones by working with local communities and promoting global collaborations through education. Each year approximately 60 students aged 5-12 years old attend the camp.

We provide our students with engaging educational activities, two meals at the summer camp, school supplies, and hygienic supplies which is entirely free of charge and organized by undergraduate students from the University of Michigan and La Universidad San Francisco de Quito.
