Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Closing the education gap - math and reading proficiency are significant issues in our school system. In our communities, only 24% and 38% of students are proficient in math and reading, respectively. Closing the opportunity gap - mentoring, after-school and summer programs, and STEAM-related activities, such as robotics, coding, art, and woodworking. Our programs address this gap by engaging kids in hands-on learning activities in these subject areas and through career exploration field trips. Recent data shows there have been little to no increases in mentoring and after-school programs in the communities we serve. Our programs are currently the only non-school sponsored after-school programs being provided to the elementary school students we serve and are one of the two being offered to middle school students.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We aim to improve each participant's math and reading proficiency by one grade level per year until they reach grade-level proficiency. Then, we continue working with them to ensure they maintain grade level proficiency.

To close the opportunity gap, we provide in-school and after-school programs in low-income schools that have limited resources and partnerships to bring their students new opportunities. We also provide these same students with summer camps to engage them year-round and to help reduce summer learning loss.

Overall, we aim to serve 200+ youth per year.

1. Supporting students in math and reading classes.
2. Working one-on-one and in small groups with students.
3. Providing emotional support to students during the school day.
4. Continuing to innovate and update our after school programs with new activities.
5. Increase our partnerships that will bring students new STEAM and career exploration opportunities.
6. Increase funding to hire additional staff to increase the number of students and campers served.
7. Hire a Director of Development to increase our fundraising revenue.
