Across the U.S., high teacher turnover rates, which reach up to 30% annually, directly undermine student achievement by disrupting learning environments and reducing access to experienced educators. There are 500,000+ fewer educators in the American public school systems post-pandemic. Meanwhile, over 40% of high school students lack effective post-high school planning support, contributing to uncertainty in their futures. Additionally, 28% of seasoned citizens (seniors) report feeling socially isolated, highlighting the deep impact of loneliness. These issues emphasize the urgent need for strong community connections, access to resources, and meaningful support systems to improve educational outcomes and overall well-being. Project SPEAK addresses these challenges and more by fostering mentorship, social connection, and access to critical resources and information. Join us in our quest to take on these challenges head on!
