Take Stock in Children aims to passionately promote personal growth, self-responsibility, and academic success for deserving low-income children by providing a unique set of resources including mentors, scholarships, long-term support, student advocacy, and a guaranteed educational opportunity. We believe that a willing child can succeed with the help of passionate and caring people, encouragement and challenge, hard work and accountability. Our purpose is to prepare and develop our students to be successful people, focused on being their best and contributing members of society. Our goal is to develop confidence, competence, pride, a sense of belonging, and hope in each student. Achieving this goal will result in an improved quality of life for all of our stakeholders.
