We Chose to Focus on the Potential Versus the Problem

We saw the continual arrival of young people in the classroom for struggling with basic reading, writing and math. They were falling behind even before the race for college began. We also saw that they were eager to learn. They just needed tools and guidance geared to their needs. We chose to focus on the potential versus the problem. We design programs that go to the heart of the need.
