Academics | Discipleship | Counseling

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 and Grow in Grace Therapy to provide free counseling and we also offer high school internships and other opportunities for students to truly grow in academics, confidence, character development and spiritually.

Why Homework Help?

  • About half of 3rd graders in Manatee County pass their reading test each year — 52% in 2024–25, up from 51% the year before. Low literacy is a proven predictor of higher rates of addiction, crime, and homelessness.
  • There are 28 Title I Schools in Manatee County, meaning at least 40% of their students come from low-income families.
  • Roughly 46–48% of elementary students, 47–48% of middle school students, and 48–50% of high school students test below proficiency in reading.
  • Approximately 38–43% of elementary students and 39–55% of middle school students (depending on grade) test below proficiency in math.
