Where girls learn to lead and people are inspired to teach.

In Greater Cleveland, Aspire taps the leadership potential of middle school girls who, due to systemic barriers, are navigating academic hardships and working toward being the first in their families to attend college. At the same time, Aspire cultivates the next generation of educators by giving high school and college students the opportunity to teach under the mentorship of experienced educators.
