The Rochester children who will excel past barriers, chart paths to bright futures, become the workforce of tomorrow, and ignite transformational change are the 2,400 students Education Success Foundation serves today.

The Generation A+ campaign supports student success from cradle-to-career. “A” is academics, for which EnCompass and The Norman Howard School are renowned, and “+” adds whole-family wraparound, 1:1 navigation, college and career readiness, and workforce development services, proven to place people on paths to their goals.
