We are executives, educators, entrepreneurs and community leaders. We enjoy investing time, talent and treasure to empower leaders to strengthen nonprofits that together help over 50,000 low-income youth each year achieve against the odds.
As Board and Executive Council members, we collectively volunteer more than 575 hours and personally give more than $30,000 each year. Together with staff, we fuel the exponential impact of our tuition-free City Scholars® Fellowship for Education.
Follow our LEAD
100% of online donations sponsor our tuition-free City Scholars® Fellowship for Education.
By investing in leaders of afterschool and education nonprofits, we’re having an extremely leveraged impact on thousands of youth who rely on these programs … that’s why I’m so committed to supporting and promoting City Scholars® Foundation.
