Level Up in 2024

In 2023 alone, Building Tomorrow reached more than 179,000 children through our Roots to Rise literacy and numeracy program, including through our corps of more than 11,000 Community Education Volunteers recruited and trained by Building Tomorrow Fellows. Together, these Fellow and CEV all-stars brought us several steps closer to our vision of literacy and numeracy for all children.

Learners—like Alex in the video below—are not only able to catch up in school through their participation in Roots to Rise camps, but they are able to excel in and out of the classroom. Check out the video to hear about Alex and our all-star CEV, Jane, and to learn about the impact of community-powered education.

On May 3, please join us as we celebrate these record-breaking successes and the stories of the learners and community members behind them. We can’t wait to have you level up with us at our 15th Build-a-School Night!
