We work with schools, libraries, and nonprofits to expand access to high-quality learning—through mentorship, tutoring, scholarships, and digital inclusion. By removing barriers to core skills and providing supportive environments to practice them, learners build confidence, discover interests, and connect classroom knowledge to real-world goals. Together with local partners and families, we help create consistent routines, stronger literacy and numeracy, and clear pathways into advanced studies, meaningful careers, and community life.
The People Foundation backs programs that make learning personal, practical, and possible for everyone. We emphasize foundational literacy and numeracy, enrichment through STEM and the arts, and equitable access to devices and connectivity for learners who need it most.
