"15 million school children in America come home to empty houses everyday after the school bell rings..."

(Source: U.S. Department of Education, 2004)

. . . leaving the door open for plenty of trouble, especially in low-income

urban neighborhoods that are also plagued by gangs, drugs, and violence and

where many children are raised by single parents

who must work longer and longer hours simply to make ends meet.

YOU can help City Scholars Foundation®

change this reality!

Established in 1993 by Kelli Ann Hogan, a Harvard University honors graduate,

City Scholars Foundation® helps non-profit, neighborhood

after-school programs grow strong, survive and thrive,

bridging the gap between school and home and helping thousands of

inner-city youth fulfill their potential as inner-"City Scholars®."

Our work is made possible through the generosity of corporations,

foundations and individuals who believe as we do in the

positive power of after-school programs and the critical importance of investing in leaders who invest so much in our children.
