Advancing Educational Opportunities for All
We’re putting more young people on the path to learning and feeding their curiosity, earning their diplomas, and achieving their dreams.
Education provides the knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities required to succeed throughout life, and helps create a skilled and innovative workforce needed for strong economies.
However, longstanding inequities and challenges that persist across generations prevent many young people from realizing their fullest potential. We break down barriers to education from infancy through high school and beyond so that children living in underserved communities have equal access to a quality education.
