UPchieve

Every single one of our students has a story to tell. From the future engineer learning Algebra for the first time, to the gamer who’s going to create the next big thing. ✨ Each of our students have a story to tell and that’s why we’re SO PUMPED for you to meet Aaron Custodio, a first-gen college student who got accepted into three ivy league schools. 🎉  We can’t promise you that you won’t cry watching this, but grab some tissues just in case. 😭 Yale University #edtech #educationforall #studentsuccess

The future of academic support for low-income students is at a crossroads. With ESSER funding ending, access to tutoring is becoming even more limited for those who need it most. Our Founder and Executive Director Aly Murray shares her 2025 predictions with eSchool News about how nonprofit, scalable models like UPchieve can ensure every student has a chance to succeed. https://bit.ly/4h0xklg #EdTech #Tutoring #EquityInEducation #StudentSuccess

🌟 At UPchieve, one of our values is "Rising to the Challenge." We understand that things that are worth achieving are often hard to achieve. No matter how impossible it seems, we always try. We learn the most when doing things that are scary and hard! 
 That’s why every week, we celebrate our team’s dedication and perseverance with the RISE Award! One team member has the honor of passing this award to a colleague who truly embodies our value of rising to the challenge. 💪 It's a moment to recognize and share the incredible efforts and achievements of our peers. By highlighting these stories, we inspire each other to push boundaries and continue making a positive impact. 💗

UPchieve participated in our first ever Supes Tank last week, where we had the amazing opportunity to pitch UPchieve and get feedback from some of the most forward-looking district superintendents and education leaders in the country. We’re especially excited because this marks UPchieve’s first step toward a 2025 goal: to form more partnerships with districts and schools! If you want to learn more about how we support students in accomplishing their academic goals and enrolling in college, send me a message 👩🏽🎓🏫🎊 Thanks so much to the Institute for Education Innovation for hosting a great event, and thank you to the IEI staff and superintendents Nate Lichte, Dr. Clayton M. Wilcox, Keith Hartbauer, Candice Sears, Dr. Matthew Hicks, Kelly Carpenter, and Nathan L. Fisher, EdD. who went above and beyond to help us learn and improve our offering.
