INNOVATIVE PROGRAMMING

Are your traditional classroom methods not reaching your students’ needs? Worried that some of your most at-risk could be slipping through the cracks? ELA is here to provide innovative, hands-on programming that will help meet your students academic and emotional needs.

Students.

Educators.

Advocates.

HOPE.

Engaged Learning Academies (ELA) is a non-profit organization that empowers students, teachers, and community leaders with the educational resources necessary to thrive. At ELA, we research, design, and deliver educational resources that make our partners’ students and communities more prosperous.

School administrators, community advocates, workforce and economic development professionals, and politicians turn to ELA for industry-leading research, proven student programming, and custom-tailored solutions that will serve the underserved better. Together, we bridge the gaps often found between schools, communities, and local economies.

Offering educational enrichment and workforce development programs improves the outcome of at-risk student populations. Their workforce development experiences also prepare them for local careers as active, economic contributors. Connecting students with academic and workforce resources doesn’t just benefit the students - it benefits their future, their families, their communities, and the local economy.

IMPACTFUL EXPERIENCES

Struggling to engage your teachers? Looking for ways to re-ignite their passion in the classroom? Our team develops and facilitates impactful professional development experiences. Your teachers have many of the foundational skills they need - they just need impactful experiences to grow as educators.

MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS

Let ELS help you build relationships and programming that prepares students for fulfilling careers as local workforce and economic contributors.
