What is ZipRoad?

I am writing to share our latest online tool, ZipRoad.org. ZipRoad (www.ziproad.org), is One Economy Corporation's innovative education tool that helps parents, students and caregivers find education-related resources in their communities.

By simply entering one’s zip code, users are quickly on the path to finding information about schools, as well as quality and affordable after school tutoring, homework assistance, and other learning programs in their neighborhoods. Users are able to comment, rate and review these services, thereby sharing their own experiences and expertise with the public. ZipRoad is available in English and in Spanish and caters to parents, caregivers and students of all literacy levels.

ZipRoad’s unique features make researching education programs easy:
  • Searchable database of schools and after school, summer, tutoring, and college programs
  • Resources submitted and updated by users
  • Ability for users to rate, review, and comment programs and services in the community
  • Personalized accounts that allow parents to create a list of programs of interest

Please take a look at this groundbreaking website, as it offers many helpful resources to its users. To help maximize exposure to the site, you could even provide a link to ZipRoad on your own school website.

Thanks,
