What does my donation do?

Providing holistic support for students

Our mission is rooted in the belief that students succeed when their whole self is supported. The HUB (Helping Undo Barriers) is a resource center designed to provide comprehensive support to Smart Schools and Grad Solutions students as they pursue an accredited high school diploma.

Every donation will support the work of The HUB and our three-pillar approach:

  • Basic Needs

    Students cannot learn if their basic needs are unmet. We connect students to housing resources, food assistance, clothing, employment opportunities, and more.

  • Life Management

    We assist students as they navigate everyday challenges through personalized support such as technology assistance, parenting resources, counseling, and skill‑building tools.

  • Safety & Wellness

    We ensure students have access to resources that protect their physical and emotional well‑being. Through partnerships with trusted community organizations, students receive support in multiple ways, such as healthcare, mental health, substance use, domestic violence, and human trafficking.
