Wrap-Around Support

“Wrapping around” a student in need to further their potential and create a more even starting place for education. Each student within our program receives individualized support.

  • Health care support
    Providing basic healthcare support to foster a learning environment free of distraction & discomfort

  • Basic need support
    Aiding students with the basic necessities so they can focus on their goals

Wrap-Around Success:

Trying to focus while hungry or cold as a little kid can be extremely difficult, sometimes resulting in disruptive behavior or emotional issues. Historically, removing these barriers for students has resulted in decreases in discipline referrals, increases in attendance, and improvements in academic scores.

Tutoring/Remediation

Providing extra support for students who need one-on-one or small group mentoring and academic help. Our tutors meet students where they are, working with them in class during the school day.

  • Literacy
    Students who can read by 4th grade are more likely to be successful in higher grades.

  • Math
    Raising up students who fall behind in math in lower grades proves to ready them for Middle School/High School math.

Tutoring/Remediation Success:

Developing a rapport with students, seeing them for who they are, and pinpointing their academic needs has led to great success. Year after year, more than 75% of all our tutored students experience success in the classroom!

 The Need

RISE Augusta students are referred to us by School Administrators.

In years past, administrators refer around 15% of students to our program, but this year, the need is so high due to the negative impacts of Covid on education that we have seen an increase to 35%.

 Thank You

For Making the 2021 Fiscal Year a Success!
