More About Our Work
Our program provides an effective and independent voice for children across America, particularly those who benefit most from high-quality learning experiences and family engagement opportunities. We focus on ensuring all children have access to enriching education, community support, and mentorship opportunities that set them up for success.
Our summer program began in 2019, and is privately funded by Dr. Elinor Ross and her family, individual donations, community partnerships, and grants. We remain committed to equipping young learners with the tools they need to excel in school, become engaged citizens, and contribute positively to their communities.
