OUR SERVICES

We provide access to technology, school supplies, snacks, and a School District teacher in order to provide academic support to students in Title 1 schools. We serve students K-12 to keep sibling groups together and to give high school students the opportunity to earn service hours for Bright Futures Scholarships. Avenue941 is so much more than just homework help. We are partnered with Samaritan Counseling to provide free counseling services, and we also offer a penpal program, high school internship and other opportunities for students to truly grow in academics, confidence, character development and spiritually.

Why Homework Help?

  • Manatee County is in the bottom 37% of the state for student academic performance in 2022, their highest ranking ever.
  • ​Only 49-51% of 3rd graders pass their reading test in Manatee County over the past several years. This statistic directly impacts addiction, crime, homelessness, etc.

  • ​In 2022, Manatee County faced it’s lowest graduation rate since the 2018 school year.
