Our Story Behind The Mission
ONE COLLEGE TOUR CHANGED EVERYTHING. AND NOW, I'M CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.
WHAT IF ONE COLLEGE TOUR CHANGED YOUR LIFE?
For me, it did. ❤️
When I was in high school, I didn't know which college I wanted to attend. It wasn't until a teacher introduced us to college graduates and encouraged us to explore higher education that I began to see college as a possibility.
Then came a college tour to Georgia Southern and Savannah State University. That experience changed my perspective. I fell in love with Savannah State, chose to attend, became involved on campus, and discovered opportunities and lifelong connections that helped shape the woman I am today.
It all started with EXPOSURE.
Now, through Equity Is Mine, Inc., I want to give other students the opportunity to experience that same moment of discovery.
Our SEND A STUDENT campaign is about more than taking a trip. It's about opening doors, expanding perspectives, and allowing students to see possibilities they may have never imagined.
Our Purpose Is Bigger Than Today. It's About Their Tomorrow.
Equity Is Mine, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding opportunities for middle and high school students through education, exposure, enrichment, and empowerment.
We believe every student deserves the opportunity to discover their potential, explore new possibilities, and develop the confidence to pursue their goals.
We recognize that access to experiences can influence how young people view their futures. A visit to a college campus, participation in an educational program, or connection with a positive mentor can create lasting inspiration.
Our commitment is to help students see beyond their current circumstances and understand that their future is full of possibilities.
