A single backpack makes an enormous difference
Realize to Act provides hundreds of backpacks and school supplies to students in underserved communities every year. It is critical for students to learn in an environment that empowers them to ask questions, develop confidence in their abilities, and seek new opportunities. Something as simple as a backpack and school supplies not only equips students with the tools to learn, but creates an environment that prioritizes learning and student success.
Technology to better support schools
Our years of working directly with students, teachers and administrators have led us to better understand the complexities of the lack of resources and effective communication in schools. With direct involvement from schools across the country, Realize to Act is currently developing a technology platform to better support schools in getting the resources they need for their kids to succeed.
