What We're Up Against

1 in 5
In Greater Atlanta communities with low child well-being, only 1 in 5 third graders are strong readers.
4x more
If children aren’t strong readers, their opportunities are limited—work, school or in life. If they can’t read at grade level by third grade, they are four times more likely to drop out of high school.
1/3
Only 1/3 of the children in Greater Atlanta are having their early childhood care needs met. But we know it’s crucial for them to enter school prepared to learn.

Here's What We're Doing

Increase Access to Early Learning
Ensure more young children have quality learning experiences at home, at quality early childhood providers and in the community.
Build Reading Skills
Engage community volunteers as tutors, and expand literacy-focused resources at after school and summer enrichment programs.
Increase Healthcare Navigation
Provide support for families to navigate untreated chronic health conditions, mental health challenges and other family health issues that get in the way of school attendance.
Secure Housing and Basic Needs
Ensure children and their families have the food, shelter, transportation and technology that are fundamental to achieving positive educational outcomes, healthy lives and reaching economic stability.
Strengthen Family Engagement
Foster the natural leadership that parents have as their children’s first teacher, brain builder, advocate and coach.
