Welcome

Even with the best efforts of dedicated public school teachers and administrators, inner city kids inevitably face a major obstacle: Trying to work out how their hard-won book smarts fit into the fast-moving world of adult professionals.   Daunting enough for college-bound children from supportive, stable, middle-class backgrounds. But for the disadvantaged, it’s often an insurmountable challenge that can affect even the most hopeful, willing young person—and marks the beginning of a downward spiral to a future as a minimum wage statistic. That’s the reality that the Knowledge Project has worked to change for the last 11 years.
