Adopt A Class (AAC)

Our mission | The vision of Adopt A Class (AAC) is a Greater Cincinnati where all students have access to caring adults who expose them to a breadth of life and career experiences so they can unleash their full potential. Our mission is to connect businesses and civic groups with students in economically challenged schools. By pairing teams with classrooms, our adult mentors expose students to a breadth of experiences and training to be job and career ready. |

How you help |
---|
About us | For almost 20 years, Adopt A Class has been dedicated to pairing classrooms in underserved schools with members of the business community and civic groups. Today, over 2,000 volunteers from over 130 businesses and community groups are paired with students in 33 Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky schools. Our volunteers provide mentoring to over 5,000 students a year. Many of these students find themselves lacking role models and/or a support system. Our mentors can be that positive influence, instilling important values and life skills while introducing critically important career concepts. Our program operates in schools with the highest concentrations of poverty where currently 96% of the students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. |
