Equiduct is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit bringing people and communities together to close educational gaps in Lansing.

We believe the purpose of education is learning how to grow—and what to grow toward.

We imagine a future where every young person has someone to learn with, someone to look up to, and something to reach for.

 

We provide free academic and social support through tutoring, mentorship, financial literacy, and STEM programs. Our college volunteers build consistent, relationship-based support with Lansing youth—helping the next generation grow with confidence, connection, and a sense of what’s possible.

I’ve always thought it was hard to volunteer alone—it’s easier to drag a parent or friend to tag along. That’s why I love Equiduct:

Field Day 2025

Rain may have threatened the day, but the skies cleared for our second annual Financial Field Day. Volunteers welcomed over 90 sixth and seventh graders from Lansing School District to MSU’s campus. Through Junior Achievement’s "Be A Success" game, field activities, and teamwork challenges, students learned real-world skills while experiencing college life up close in a fun environment. Volunteers from MSU’s Broad College and Equiduct made the day a celebration of learning, laughter, and new possibilities.

Mt. Hope students explored live experiments, animal encounters, and microscope viewings during Equiduct’s first-ever Science Night—making STEM real, exciting, and within reach.

Giving students a unique chance to see all sides of science is as exciting for us as it is for them."
