“We as a people have more similarities than differences and sharing our privilege is essential to uniting the world and achieving otherwise unattainable goals” - Misha Kasher

Misha Kasher, Founder and Chief Volunteer


Misha founded Marusya Educational Opportunities in 2020 shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic forced schools around the world to close. During his sophomore year of high school Misha took a semester of Hebrew at UVA under Zvi Gilboa to learn the best methods of teaching beginners a new language. Inspired by what he had learned, he decided to add more volunteers and make MARUSYA accessible to kids around the world.

Misha comes from an international background, his countries of origin are USA, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Russia. He is fluent in English and Russian and proficient in Spanish.
