Students from low-income, single parent families benefit greatly from your generosity through our free childcare, nutritious snacks, STEM enrichment programming and career pathways to living wage careers.
The Will Allen Foundation is ready for an exciting new year! Building on the success of recent programming for students, we’re looking forward to continuing to deliver our enriching after-school programs, hosting a fun and educational summer camp, expanding our middle school programming to reach more students, and attracting youth to healthcare professions through our new LPN Program.
We hope you'll consider supporting our plans and help us buy robotics kits for students, provide backpacks and school supplies, and enable us to take students on field trips to local businesses to explore the many career possibilities available to them.
