Leadership Vision
As a member of a community committed to ethical action in an interconnected world, I envision a world where every single student graduates high school and matriculates to college. Systemic economic disadvantages should not hinder a child’s right to learn and succeed. I believe that where you come from does not necessarily have to be where you end up.
Project Description
Student to Student aspires to change the rigid inequalities in urban education both immediately and systematically. In the short term, Student to Student serves low-income middle school students by providing necessary SHSAT preparation to gain entry into one of NYC’s top-performing specialized high schools. Admission into one of these schools gives low-income students access to a higher quality of education and increased career and academic outcomes after graduation.
