We know that education enables a path for students to strong careers, and social & economic growth, but 1 in 5 Atlanta students will not graduate from high school, and only 34% of elementary school students are reading at grade level. Parents are facing financial pressures, teachers are overwhelmed and under resourced, but our students are hopeful. Our education-focused partners are supporting students from birth to graduation.

Together, we’re making big strides by connecting students to educational opportunities, caring for teachers and school staff, meeting urgent needs in the classroom, fighting the summer slide and reviving the love of learning. Whether you spend time on campus working directly with students, visit a warehouse to pack school supplies, or evaluate scholarship applications from home… join us in the fight to improve educational outcomes for Atlanta students today.
