Course Hero’s Knowledge Drive is a philanthropic initiative that strives to build a powerful learning community for college students and a brighter future for children in Africa. The program is simple: for every 10 documents a student uploads to the website, one book will be donated to Course Hero's partner organization, Books for Africa. Running a Knowledge Drive at your respective college will be a rewarding experience and a lot of fun.
