"I feel so fortunate to be a part of Higher Achievement. I have gained valuable insight in to the problems facing teachers and students in Richmond. More importantly, I know I am making a difference in scholars' lives, and it is one of the most rewarding and satisfying things I have ever done. Hearing one of my scholars say "She is a good mentor, she makes me happy." was one of the most touching things anyone has ever said about me! "
- Allison, Northside Mentor
Higher Achievement closes a persistent opportunity gap for middle school students in at-risk communities by providing rigorous afterschool and summer academic training within a culture of high expectations. This fall we are beginning our third Afterschool Academy with a 70% increase in the number of young scholars participating in four middle schools in Richmond and Henrico.
