Review for The Daniel Trust Foundation, Inc. , Fairfield, CT, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I became familiar with the work of this foundation during my late in life studies to obtain a masters in teaching (I had a career in the for profit business world of finance). As I learned more about the educational landscape across our state ( and our state is similar to others) I found that low income students had drive and ambition but lacked guidance. Guidance that comes with privilege or can be paid for. Students don't need harder subjects or more classroom time, they need advice and mentoring. The Daniel Trust Foundation does this for students. From simple things like guidance with obtaining a drivers licence to more complex issues like SAT prep and FAFSA completion, students have a valuable resource to advance to the next level. Every student coming out of this program also moves forward with the ability to self advocate and seek help with further endeavors which are life long skills needed to be successful regardless of your demographic.
