Tristan Campbell, a 10th grader at Hingham High School, is passionate about making a difference through education. Though still in high school himself, Tristan has already shown a strong commitment to helping others learn. He has spent time tutoring his younger sister, cousins, and even peers his age experiences that have not only strengthened his own knowledge but also deepened his love for teaching. These early moments of guiding others have shaped his belief that education is one of the most powerful tools we can share.

While he hasn’t taught over Zoom before, Tristan is eager to embrace this opportunity with SmartKids Ghana. He views this role as more than just an academic task, it’s a chance to build bridges across continents and empower Ghanaian scholars with knowledge that can change their futures. For Tristan, teaching is not simply about covering lessons, but about opening doors of possibility for underprivileged students who deserve equal access to quality education.

In addition to teaching, Tristan is also stepping into the vital responsibility of fundraising. He is committed to raising $250, which directly supports transportation, internet access, and essential learning resources for the scholars in Ghana. These funds ensure that every Zoom class runs smoothly and that students are equipped to fully participate in their learning journey. His efforts highlight that education goes hand-in-hand with community support, and he is proud to be part of sustaining SmartKids Ghana’s impactful programs.

What makes Tristan’s story inspiring is his dedication at such a young age. He believes that no matter your age, background, or where you live, you can make a meaningful contribution to the world. His heart for service reflects SmartKids Ghana’s mission: to cultivate brilliant young minds and prepare them with the 21st-century skills they need to thrive.

Tristan is excited to bring his energy, creativity, and compassion into every lesson he teaches. His journey reminds us that even small acts like teaching a class, mentoring a peer, or contributing to a fundraiser can ripple outward and create lasting change. Through his role, Tristan is proving that young leaders can indeed step up and make a global impact.
