The Mission

To provide information, guidance and resources, with the social imperative of advancing economic empowerment and academic opportunities for individuals from historically under-served communities.

The Opportunity

Across our nation, the socioeconomic environment people encounter at birth is often the strongest prediction of their future success. At Kelly-Parker Foundation we know that equity of access to information and guidance leads to more informed communities. More informed communities make informed decisions, delivering better outcomes and ultimately increasing opportunities for members of the community. We are committed to providing access to education and resources for businesses and an innovative approach toward youth mentorship.

What We Do

Impact the community and cultivate an environment of equitable economic empowerment and academic opportunities; where socio-economic status is no longer the sole determining factor of a success but rather a person’s capability to achieve. We provide businesses access to business development subject matter experts via our webinar series and mentor students (grades 6-12) in professional skills development.
