A Better Future for Our Kids

PEARL believes that everyone has a right to education, no matter a person’s financial status or where they live. Sadly, not all families are able to give their children the resources they need to ensure that they do not fall behind in their education, especially during a pandemic. Though providing a good education for their children may seem like a luxury for some families, we aim to correct that perspective by connecting students with college students and retired teachers as mentors.

Learn More About Our Program

PEARL will provide support to 9th - 12th grade students in our community at the Boys and Girls Club Teen Center in Raleigh located at : 721 N Raleigh Blvd.

The pilot program this fall will support the roughly 30 financially underprivileged students in our community with the hopes of expanding in the spring semester.
Pods of 3-4 students will work with their college/grad students for 4 hours per week and be assigned a layered team; one grad/college student will work with the students, and a retired teacher will mentor each college/grad students instructor.
We hope to support the program with a $1500 stipend for each grad/college student and $250 stipends for each participating family and retired teacher acting as mentor to the instructor.
College instructors will help classroom teachers by flagging learning issues or problem areas and ensure that students are submitting necessary assignments through the virtual platform.

Our Partners

We would like to thank our existing partners for giving PEARL the opportunity to impact the lives of students and families. During this time, it is critical that families have access to the support of trusted adults during virtual school days.
