Empower Students.
Create Community.

We have prepared and distributed over 25,000 backpacks and school supplies to students in underserved communities. Every backpack is a spark of inspiration that helps a student feel valued as a learner. Join us and ignite someones spark!

Be the Difference

Our work is centered in empowering students to dream big by equipping them with the tools they need to succeed and creating platforms for young people to lead change in their own communities. "Realize to Act" is more than a name—it's a call to action for everyone to realize that you can dream big and take action in your life and your community.

Education is a stepping stone to new opportunities, so since 2017, we've distributed thousands of school supplies and backpacks, engaged volunteers of all ages in changemaking, and we're building tech that centers students in addressing large scale community needs. Joy powers our work, with balloon animals and every smile from a community member who becomes a part of the Realize to Act community.

Connecting Our Communities

We are currently developing a resource-technology platform connecting schools with community partners on a regional level to identify needs and consistently equip our students what they need, when they need it.

As a school, we only have to list the items and quantities we need, and a resource provider connects with us to make sure we receive those essentials

As a provider, we can locate communities in need and connect with them to offer the resources we’re equipped to provide
