Working in Chicago Public Schools

Since Schools Count Corp was established as an official federal charity in July of 2007, the non-profit has sought to ease the burden on students and families as a result of natural crisis such as hurricanes, earthquakes and spring floods. These natural disasters have taken us to Galveston, TX, New Orleans, Haiti, and Iowa.

While aiding areas, long term, still reeling from these natural disasters, Schools Count feels that assisting children who are without school supplies as a result of economic malaise is just as critical. The economic downturn and inner city blight makes it tough on families, who have to stretch few dollars, to meet lots of daily needs including providing basic school supplies for their children.

Whether children go without because of a violent storm or some other cause, the issue still revolves around helping students get an education. Every student deserves a decent education and if we can help children find success in the classroom, we'll do our best to serve them.

As we go forward in 2011 the goal of Schools Count Corp remains the same...to bring out the best in children. There are few better ways to do that than to assist them in school. Our mission is unchanged..."to tap the vast potential of the human mind" and there's no better way than to help students get the best education possible.

Thanks for your commitment to this cause!
