Children Across America

We are trying to eliminate achievement gap and summer slide among our under-served communities with our FREE educational programs.We know that healthy mind is also important to achieve these goals ,so we work with communities to raise awareness around state offered Children's Health Insurance program and to help kids to get annual check-ups and immunizations.

We are providing three services at no-cost in communities where we operate -

1.Saturday STEM Club: (whole year):
Every child benefits from opportunities that develop their reading and math skills. One student plus our unique education programs equals lasting success.In addition to teaching children how to read, the literacy program focuses on making literature enjoyable and interactive. This results in children wanting to read more – even outside of school. Our math program brings concepts to life. It offers a fun environment where the children can practice and discover the use of numbers in everyday life.

2.Summer STREAM Camp: (7 weeks long/4 days of week):
In a single program we feed the body and the mind. We provide these elementary level children a unique opportunity to maintain reading and math skills over the summer along with a reliable healthy meal. We provide opportunity to read aloud and discuss stories with peers in an emotionally safe environment. We teach them coding using minecraft.

3.Access to Quality Healthcare:
Children Across America has helped hundreds of underserved families obtain healthcare coverage. We connect children with doctors and dentists within their local communities. By educating parents, more than 200 children have received annual check-ups and immunizations annually. We are a partner sign-up center with Mass Health.

Our Organization was founded in 2007 and it's a 501(c)(3) community based charity determined by IRS. We are working with underserved communities in Greater Blackstone Valley . In 2021 we opened a chapter in Mountainview California and plan on five additional chapters by years end. We are led by capable Leadership Team with balanced representation in experienced and young professionals. We have 50% women representation across our board and board meets every month.

Along with leadership team, Children Across America also mentors high school and college students on its programs and activities. In turn, these students act as mentors for their younger counterparts. These students co-host the book, math STEM clubs, interact with elementary school students, and carry out our mission to empower and improve their lives. Not only do our mentors have fun teaching, they also learn about mentoring and leadership. These skills will be applied in college and at life as they go on to further success.

Our progress in since 2007 -
• Helped more than 400 underserved kids annually at our STEM clubs and math sessions to gain insight in literacy and logic games.
• With a collaboration with other Non Profit organizations, during the STEM clubs, hot meals are also provided.
• Helped more than 300 underserved families annually obtain healthcare coverage and connected their children with Pediatricians and dentists within their local communities.
• By educating parents, more than 200 children annually have received annual check-ups and immunizations.
