AT THE MAURICE LUCAS FOUNDATION KIDS COME FIRST

We are passionate about students’ success and believe in their ability to dream, learn, and achieve. We model, teach, mentor, and coach from middle school through high school – and beyond. Students grow in capability and confidence as Maurice Lucas Foundation staff support and amplify students’ resilience as they navigate an increasingly challenging world. Students gain access to transformational opportunities and experiences through consistent and long-term academic support, character development curriculum and experiences, college visits, job shadows, internships, educational field trips, and college scholarships.

Our team consists of mentors, coaches and tutors and a collaborative relationship with partners, families, teachers, and schools. We acknowledge and value the important influences in our students’ lives and form a community of champions for their success. Together we will continue to advance our mission of ensuring all students have a fair and equitable opportunity to access a high-quality education and pursue their dreams.
