Education
According to a proverb, education is a treasure that can never be taken away. It is also one of the truest predictors of well-being and economic stability. Communities have a greater chance of flourishing when families have access to quality early childhood education, high-performing schools and enrichment activities for their children. They also benefit when adults can get the skills training and continuing education they need to land and advance in living wage jobs.
That’s why promoting educational opportunity is at the foundation of LISC’s work here in Charlotte and in neighborhoods across the country.
