We support classroom literacy, cultural expression, safe artificial intelligence use, and much more. We also provide support to students and small-group interactions, thus mitigating social isolation among students who may face academic, social, or language barriers. In doing so, we strengthen teachers’ ability to build meaningful relationships across diverse and busy classrooms, creating ripple effects of connection and belonging.

BeAstro is a registered non-profit organization operating in the Greater Toronto Area. We expand access to meaningful learning experiences by equipping post-secondary students to support elementary school teachers who are often stretched beyond capacity. By bridging the gap between eager university and college students and overburdened classrooms, BeAstro enhances the educational environment for both teachers and students alike. Our volunteer “Agents” assist with in-class engagement, foster positive student interactions, and model respectful learning behavior — all while gaining invaluable hands-on experience that complements their academic and career goals. Together, we’re building a stronger, more resilient educational ecosystem—one classroom at a time.

We create a strong sense of belonging for our volunteers within the community while helping them build a meaningful foundation for their future careers. By connecting them with real in-classroom experience, we provide our Agents with a competitive edge when applying to teachers’ college or related graduate programs such as family therapy, social work, child and youth care, educational psychology, speech-language pathology, school counseling, and other fields that prioritize direct engagement with diverse student populations. Through their time with BeAstro, volunteers not only gain relevant skills and references, but also become part of a network committed to uplifting education from the ground up.
