Inspire to Aspire is a non-profit organization geared toward making sure no child is left behind due to inadequate resources.
Mentorship
Inspire to Aspire, while a multi-dimensional educational initiative, is fundamentally built on the mentorship model. Students are paired with undergraduate mentors in their field of interest, and we aim to foster a collaborative relationship that continues on longitudinally - often for many years.
Networking
Connecting our high school student mentees with local opportunities - from introducing trade school pathways, to internships at local Universities; we aim to provide direct early exposure that will help mentees build their future careers one step at a time.
Support for communities
Education happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the school to help ensure students have the necessary support to do their best learning. An integral part of our mission is fostering collaborative initiatives with local community organizations.
