Inspiring hope, leadership.
and learning
from underserved communities. We provide academic programs, career mentorship, and
creative opportunities to help young people thrive in school and beyond.
OUR STORY
Founded in the heart of New York City, Goodnews to Scholars
was born out of a deep desire to see young people thrive —
not just survive. What began as a small initiative to support local
students with school supplies has grown into a movement reaching hundreds of families across the city.
Over the years, we’ve built partnerships with educators, community
leaders, and organizations who share our passion for seeing youth flourish academically and emotionally. Our work continues to evolve, but our heart remains the same: to share good news and create good change for every scholar.
OUR VISION
regardless of background — has access to
quality education, mentorship, and the chance to build a meaningful future.
