Breaking Barriers to Learning, One Student at a Time
Support One, Empower Two: Education Access Program
The Support One, Empower Two: Education Access Program is Global Bright Futures Foundation Inc.'s flagship charitable initiative designed to expand equitable access to education for students facing financial and systemic barriers to learning.
Through school-driven partnerships, the program provides education access support in the form of tutoring, academic mentoring, educational materials, school supplies, technology-supported learning resources, and student enrichment services. Participating schools independently identify students with the greatest educational need and oversee program participation, ensuring assistance is distributed fairly, transparently, and in alignment with charitable guidelines.
Each grant or donation issued to a participating U.S. school is paired with a parallel education access award to a partner school serving students in under-resourced communities abroad. Both schools independently select their students and maintain records of program use, allowing the Foundation to support education access at two sites while preserving accountability and compliance.
The program also incorporates a College Teaching Fellowship, through which under-resourced college students receive educational training, mentorship experience, and academic support while providing tutoring and learning assistance to younger students. This service-based model strengthens educational outcomes for both groups and promotes college completion, workforce readiness, and leadership development.
By addressing academic support, learning resources, and mentorship together, Support One, Empower Two creates a sustainable cycle of learning that benefits students, schools, and communities locally and globally.
