It's hard for me to explain how much I love this program. I've been volunteering with Higher Achievement for five years, and each week I meet with and mentor a small group of middle school students. High Achievement believes that the middle school years are the last, best chance to get on the track to college. Three days a week, the program provides students in grades 5-8 with homework coaching, dinner, small-group intensive mentoring, as well as coaching to help them get placed at an elite high school in the DC area. Higher Achievement truly creates lasting change by putting individual students on a path to success during these critical years.
We mentors at all of the Higher Achievement centers across DC are hoping to raise $10,000, which a consulting firm will match. Any donation you can make towards this goal will provide critical help to ensure Higher Achievement can continue to serve its students across the District. Thank you, truly, for your support!
