Impact

**﻿Impact: Ownership for Learning**  If every The impact of this project is to create a motivational and character driven organization that will assist in closing the acheivement gap of our African American and Hispanic students. I want students to realize that education can be the way out of poverty. It starts now, they can have dreams just like the kids who are not economically disadvantaged.

 Their approach to education is different, they need skills and motivation that they can use on their own. Example: kids going home with no one there, no one to check homework or help them with a project. They need to take ownership, and yes they are growing up faster than the average kid because of it, but this is how they survive and this is why these skills are needed early, before middle school years. If every child is given these skills (Ownership for Learning/Exposure to Opportunities) would we still have a huge achievement gap like this? Maybe or maybe not. I hope that is club will have a direct impact on the students to take ownership in their smartness. The direct impact on the faculty and school improvement would be the outcome of all of this, closing that gap each year by 5%-10% would be great.
