Why Your Support Matters
Every student deserves to start the school year ready to thrive, with the tools, energy, and support to focus on learning.
The students we serve are creative, determined, and full of potential. Many are navigating extra challenges, from adjusting to a new school, to catching up after a move, to learning in a language that isn’t spoken at home.
When those barriers are removed, kids don’t just catch up. They leap forward.
Why now?
The first weeks of school set the tone for the whole year:
Confidence. Study habits. Attendance. Engagement.
We have a short, powerful window to help students start strong.
And, thanks to a generous matching gift, your impact goes 50% further right now.
"I don't think people realize how hard y'all go for these kids. I know Urban Ventures is the reason my kids are doing so well."
