Support Higher Achievement’s Going Places 2022


Remember when you were in middle school? It is awkward and confusing time for many. It has its good and bad moments. While some of us may want to forget it, the non-profit Higher Achievement believes Middle school is an exciting time of growth for teens to dreams, gain sense of self develop and begin to shape their career paths. Thousands of talented young people in the DMV region are living this pivotal time, but too many lack access to opportunities to help them thrive. With community leadership and your partnership, Higher Achievement is able to step in to fill those gaps.

Become a sponsor of Going Places 2022, or donate to support the critical work of Higher Achievement. In America, the greatest decline in reading and math scores in more than 30 years has happened within the last two years of the pandemic.

One of the most important factors in recovering from this learning loss is extra hours of instruction and academic support. Higher Achievement is working to be part of the academic solution, in support of social-emotional learning and high school readiness.

Help Higher Achievement’s scholars on their journey towards success in high school and beyond by attending Going Places 2022, on November 2 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, or by making your commitment of sponsorship by October 14.

Higher Achievement’s evidence-based program model prepares scholars academically and socially for high school, college, and careers. During their formative years at Higher Achievement, scholars:

  • Explore their interests
  • Define and pursue their goals for the future
  • Sharpen their communication skills
  • With the help of mentors, staff, and peers.

Higher Achievement scholars have futures as educators, entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, and lawyers. No matter their path, scholars leave Higher Achievement well-prepared for placement in college preparatory high schools that will enable them to pursue their ambitions. This fall, Higher Achievement alumni are attending excellent schools throughout the metropolitan area, including School Without Walls, Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Eleanor Roosevelt High School, Benjamin Banneker Academic High School, and Alexandria City High School.

Please consider celebrating and supporting the journey towards high school success by attending Going Places 2022, on November 2 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. Higher Achievement would greatly appreciate your consideration of purchasing a ticket or otherwise donating.

Your support of this mission is a direct investment in the talented future leaders of our community.
