We believe every kid deserves the opportunity to succeed at life beyond the classroom, regardless of their age, background, or ability.

All too often, brilliant kids have a spark of an entrepreneurial spirit, but no access to resources or mentorship. Younger generations are faced with ever-growing challenges and rarely learn resilience, self-sustainability, or the independence necessary to play active roles in shaping their world now, and throughout their adult lives.

As the sixth class of Ascension Leadership Academy, we are taking a stand alongside Start-Up Kid's Club. This 501(c)3 non-profit teaches hands-on entrepreneurship that empowers kids to break poverty cycles, build crucial life skills, and bridge the connection from the classroom to the real world.

When you contribute to our campaign, you are unlocking the inner genius of kids through self-trust, creativity, and resources to apply their ideas and goals.

Our team of 28 leaders is committed to raising $117,000 in 25 days to launch the businesses and futures of local Austin kids.

Together we can ignite possibilities in students of all ages by giving them a voice and a space to be creative, have their own passions, and become leaders.
