Charity Of The Month
Our mission is to strengthen community by eliminating the race-based opportunity and achievement gap for students through education.
We believe…
Education is the prow of our ship and our students are our highest priority. Bolstering students, kindergarten through college, means much more than helping them get better grades.
Using a whole-child methodology, we partner with parents and schools to ensure that all students have the stability, resource, access to opportunity, equity, and inclusion that they need to thrive and reach their goals.
Whether the student is a quiet creative or an outspoken leader, our goal is to empower them to be the captain of their own ship.
We invest…
In Students-
We support students in strengthening their academics and accessing interests outside of the classroom so they can become active and empowered adults and one day invest back in their communities.
In Parents-
We advocate and make connections with parents so that they feel more resourced and can provide their children opportunities to prosper. Confident parents offer a strong foundation so that children can thrive.
In Communities-
We build relationships and connections between individuals, families, neighborhoods, organizations, and local businesses. Equity and inclusion are the center of our work.
Central to our mission is the belief that diversity and inclusion are catalysts for meaningful change. We advocate for equality, justice, and equity in all our initiatives.
Our commitment to diversity is woven into the very fabric of our organization, from our student body, to our leadership to our volunteers.
OpenDoors strives to create inclusive spaces where individuals from all backgrounds feel valued and have equal opportunities to thrive. We employ, serve, and advocate without regard to race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability, or any other legally protected characteristic.
