SOS Mission • York SOS is a new branch of Canada SOS, a national charity/social entrepreneurship venture • The idea is to run "exam cram" group study sessions for difficult courses at York, asking participants for a small donation • We then use the money to build sustainable education projects in communities abroad (via overseas volunteer trips) • Our development work is done as responsibly as possible

  5. What are ‘Exam Crams’ • SOS’s primary charitable initiative: • Student Volunteers tutor group review sessions called ‘Exam Crams’. • Sessions held 2-4 days prior to the exam. • Sessions provide all attendees a take-home package • (practice midterm, study package, review notes etc) • Students donate $20 dollars to our charity to attend an ‘Exam Cram’ ‘Exam Cram’ name will be modified and Trademarked for September 2008.
