Who We Are

Our vision is to see every low-income and autistic child have the same chances at successfully completing education and moving on into secondary education as everyone else. This vision is being realized by thousands around the globe as they employ the some of the same programs, advocacy, and support we provide.

Our values and mission shape the way we treat those we serve, those we serve with, and one another. We’re all about people.

Our Goals

The goal of The EdY Project is five-fold. It can all be summed up by saying that we want to see all of school aged students thrive again. To do that, many of them need funding, support, programs, intervention, and advocacy.

Our goals are to:

Advocacy

We lead the charge on the front lines, so the important issues get addressed and changed for the better.
icon-5

Community

We collaborate and partner with others, form lasting relationships, and build strong teams so the children we help can thrive.
icon-4

Resiliency

We know that things will not always go our way. We understand that the road is rough, and the way is not straight. But, as a team, we’ll stand strong against any challenges that come our way and continuously strive to better ourselves, our community, and our services.

Private Funding

Community funding, and volunteers could improve the lives of these children. We could watch as the high school graduation rates begin to rise and the achievement gap starts to close. Without funding, none of this is possible.

Resourcefulness

We use failures as steppingstones. We see challenges as a reason to rejoice. It gives us a chance to employ our imagination, experience, and wisdom as original thinkers and innovators to make this world a better place one child at a time.

Respect

Everyone deserves the opportunity to gain the right support so they can reach their potential and achieve their goals. At The EdY Project, we believe everyone has the potential within them to achieve the goals they set forth.

Volunteer Opportunities – Support The EdY Project through Volunteering!

We need tutors for grades 1-12 and parent mentors. We’re also in need of volunteer advocates for families who have children on the autism spectrum. There is also a significant need for volunteers in these areas who are adept in speaking Spanish.
