AIM HIGH

Aim High is an amazing, life altering experience. While I can only speak from the perspective of a teacher, I know from many first hands experiences that this feeling is expressed whole-heartedly by almost all teachers and students who go through the program. The five week intensive academic program has the summer school portion with classes in the morning and an activity period in the afternoon that fosters self expression, confidence, and making friendships. The atmosphere is filled with a strong sense of community and overall positive energy that is contagious, in a good way.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... helping kids reach academic potential
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... the relationships that I made with students and teachers
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... energetic, committed, intelligent, progressive
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... change the lives of many more young bright middles schoolers who, by getting this educational opportunity, could change the world for the better
Ways to make it better!
- My experience would have been better if... there was better organization
- If I ran this organization, I would... keep expanding the mission of the program
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... fundraising, getting faculty to stay multiple years
- One thing I'd also say is that... this is a wonderful program
MY ROLE: I was a Volunteer & Taught under-privileged city middle students summer school
