About Aspire
The Aspire Program is a tuition-free academic and leadership program that connects Hathaway Brown School with under-resourced public schools around Cleveland. The program targets high achieving girls limited in opportunity because of low family income and lack of exposure to higher education. At Aspire these students are mentored by a dedicated group of high school and college students whose teaching talent is being cultivated to bring new ideas and change to our schools

Developing Leadership Potential in Girls 
Aspire targets motivated middle school girls who are limited in opportunity because of low family income and lack of exposure to higher education.  Over the course of a three-year commitment in middle school, Aspire girls participate in a variety of leadership-building activities in academic classes and exploratory workshops.  During high school, each Aspire graduate is able to take part in programming designed to make college more accessible.  Aspire increases a girl’s awareness and investment in her learning, leadership, and choices.   

Creating Advocates for Education 
Aspire also offers high school and college students an introduction to teaching in an innovative environment. Aspire has recruited potential teachers from the nation’s leading colleges. These young people work together with experienced teachers to implement creative, engaging classes. Aspire develops their awareness of the components of a high quality education, leading them to be effective advocates for education and to consider pursuing teaching as a career.
