GRACE PLACE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES INC

The mission of Grace Place for Children and Families is to provide pathways out of poverty by educating children and families. Grace Place currently serves more than 1200 students in our educational programs. Our nationally recognized Bright Beginnings family literacy program prepares children for kindergarten, and helps parents become their children’s first and best teachers. Our Academy of Leaders afterschool and summer programs supports K-12 students’ academic achievement and personal development. Our “Leaders Empowered to Achieve Dreams” (LEAD) college- and career access program works to ensure that students graduate high school, pursue higher education, and enter the workforce prepared to succeed. Our Adult Education program offers English language and literacy, digital literacy, financial literacy, and citizenship courses. Working together, these programs empower families to build cultures of education in their homes as they work to support their children’s academic achievement, build stable careers and nurturing homes, and become involved citizens.
