The SEED Foundation partners with urban communities to provide educational opportunities that prepare underserved students for success in college and beyond. SEED’s innovative model integrates a rigorous academic program with a nurturing boarding program, which teaches life skills and provides a safe and secure environment.

SEED’s Vision: We believe that all young people, regardless of circumstances, should be able to achieve their true potential in life.
Together with students, families, educators, activists, communities, and policymakers who share this belief, SEED strives to foster a nation where:

• Students who need it most have access to a high-quality, college-preparatory, public boarding education;
• Low-income, first-generation, college-bound students receive the support they need to thrive in college and beyond; and
• Our public education system embraces innovation to empower all students to own their educational journeys.

By 2028, SEED will continue to build on its expertise and proven success to deliver these outcomes to as many students as possible, becoming a nationally recognized leader in education innovation and college access and success.
