Program accomplishments
- The SphereUs Foundation is committed to improving the achievement of disabled students living in poverty. Students with disabilities who have a lack of resources are at an extreme disadvantage when it comes to education outcomes, employment opportunities and positive life experiences. Data confirms that individuals who do not earn a high school diploma or general education degree are ore likely to remain financially-stressed throughout their lives. Students in poverty, who also have disabilities, are at even greater risk of not earning their diploma or degree. Our mission is to help them avoid this situation by providing targeted education content, technology, service, and support. By helping these students complete school we can help them have a more complete life.Expenses $40,806
