Future Initiatives

Expanding Our Educational Impact

While our PBMHS SAT Initiative is our first major program, ATS Educational Access Foundation is committed to developing additional initiatives to address educational disparities across diverse communities. Here's a glimpse of our vision for the future:

Early Readers Program

Research consistently shows that early literacy is a critical predictor of long-term academic success. We are developing an Early Readers Program designed to:

• Provide one-on-one reading support for elementary school students in underserved communities

• Create a structured curriculum that builds fundamental literacy skills

• Offer digital and physical reading resources to families

• Train volunteer reading mentors to provide consistent, quality support

• Establish partnerships with local libraries and elementary schools

This initiative aims to ensure that all children, regardless of socioeconomic background, develop strong reading foundations during these critical early years.

ESL Tutoring in Community Centers

We recognize that language barriers often create significant obstacles to educational success. Our planned ESL tutoring program will:

• Partner with community centers serving immigrant populations

• Provide ESL-certified tutors to assist students and families

• Develop customized language learning plans based on individual needs

• Offer both academic English support and practical communication skills

• Create a welcoming, supportive environment for multilingual learners

By addressing language barriers early, we can help ensure that non-native English speakers have access to the full range of educational opportunities.

Expanded Standardized Test Preparation

Building on our SAT initiative, we plan to develop additional test preparation programs for:

• ACT, PSAT, and AP exams

• GRE and other graduate admission tests

• Professional certification exams

• State assessment tests

These programs will follow our proven methodology of diagnostic assessment, personalized learning plans, and ongoing support.

College Application and Financial Aid Counseling

Navigating the college application and financial aid process can be overwhelming, especially for first-generation college students. We're developing a comprehensive support program that includes:

• One-on-one guidance through the application process

• Scholarship search assistance

• Financial aid form completion support

• College essay writing workshops

• Interview preparation
