Invitation to Participate
We want all children to be ready to learn when they begin school.
Books, books and more books! We’re working to ensure all Nashville four-year-olds are familiar with the same set high-quality books that are read aloud by caring adults in order to have a shared context to begin their school years.
MoreMiddle School-aged kids should feel safe in school.
A cruel word. A suspicious whisper. A nasty look. Teasing and bullying can shatter a pre-teen’s desire to succeed.
MoreWe want teenagers to succeed in school and step confidently into their future.
The shy girl at the back of the class. The big-mouth boy who disrupts the class. Both could fail in school – or they could become the next-generation leaders in Nashville.
MoreMaking the "right" decisions isn't easy when you're a kid.
It’s the topic that’s just so-o-o hard to talk to teens about. We’re helping teachers assigned with that task make those conversations easier. Sexual responsibility, including the social and emotional benefits and consequences, and disease prevention are key components. Discover how you can help.
MoreWant to help build student socialization skills and positive character traits?
The development of socialization skills and integration of character education are an important part of a child’s academic success.

Be a part of the 16-24 Out of Work and Out of School GED and Adult Education Brochure Project!
MoreHelp spread the word!
While there are many organizations in Nashville who serve large numbers of children and youth in after-school and out-of-school programs, there is not a consistent message or language about children’s health that is shared across these organizations.
MoreCollege should be for everyone...
All of the evidence confirms there is a need to improve access to postsecondary education for students in MNPS. This is particularly true for those students who are first-generation and low-income. Currently, in Nashville, there is no organization with the explicit mission of improving college access rates for metro students.
MoreHelp parents navigate the public schools.
The Parent University Task Force is creating a grassroots effort to educate parents and caregivers on the importance of earning a high school diploma, the specific requirements necessary to earn a diploma, and the current high school redesign initiative based on the Small Learning Communities Model.
MoreBe a part of the Nashville Kids Fitness Challenge...
We’ve expanded the sand box and now there’s room for everyone to play. Help create more opportunities for children in Nashville to get more physically active.
MoreCreate relevance and help students achieve in MNPS High Schools.
Help play a part in bringing real-world concepts into core subject curricula in our high schools.
