Success in life begins with a quality education. And yet, millions of children and youth lack the support they need to strengthen their literacy, stay on track in school, graduate high school and find a career. Our goal is that kids enter school ready to learn, and are supported for successful school progression followed by completion of a post-secondary experience that leads to a family-sustaining job.
3,637 people in Ottawa and Allegan Counties were impacted by our funded Education programs in 2020.
