Our Mission
We’re a non-profit organization helping low-income students attend high-quality out-of-school programs. We believe that closing the opportunity gap is essential in the fight against the education crisis facing America.
7,000
kids will drop out of high school today.
5,600
would have stayed in school if they
found it relevant to their lives
We work in high-need communities, serving low-income students. With your support, Wishbone ignites students’ passions by providing a scalable service for them to discover, access and afford quality after school and summer programs.
Identify
We identify promising
students and learn
about their passions.
Connect
We connect these students with
our database of out-of-school
program providers and assist in finding
the perfect fit for them.
Engage
We engage our community to
fundraise in support of our students’
passions, which students would
otherwise not be able to afford.
Inspire
We share our students’ stories
to inspire other students and
supporters to get involved.
When students are funded, they attend the program of their choice and inspire donors through updates about their experience.
Our students return to the classroom engaged, inspiring their peers with a heightened sense of motivation and a new-found relevance for education.
