What is the Opportunity Gap in Learning Outside the Classroom ?
Thousands of low-income students experience• Inconsistent access to educational supports• Programs that are punitive• Curriculum that doesn’t differ from their
school day learning• Few opportunities to pursue their passions• Little family-oriented experiences• Little literacy-oriented experiences

replicable and scalable?
