While our main focus is on providing a middle school education, we know our students dream even bigger than 9th grade graduation. That's why we provide support for those bigger dreams. Mostly this takes the form of programming that helps our students see the value of continuing their education and scholarships that help truly outstanding students go on to high school or vocational training. We also connect students in the U.S. and students in Mali, fostering a curious and supportive connection.

Alumni Networks
One of our newest projects focuses on engaging graduates of our schools as role-models and advocates for their schools. In the firs year of this effort, we established two Alumni Networks. They tackled projects from school cleanups to career days. We look forward to spreading this idea of giving back to your old school and helping the kids who come behind you suceed!
