Essential2life

sue a life of purpose and distinction. One of the toughest things for at-risk students living in the margin is access to proper life/ leadership skills and post secondary education. According to the National Center for Education, approximately 60% of youth living in poverty conditions will drop out of school- a rate six times that of students living in middle to upper-class households. For these reasons, Essential2life has strategically pursued implementing programs that are destined to revolutionize the opportunities for and perceptions of at risk youth, one student at a time. Our hope has and always will be to see a generation of urban youth move beyond poverty to discover a direction and purpose for their lives. We do this through mentoring and educational/ career opportunity programs, leadership development, lifeskill development, and college access.
