who are we?
An After School Enrichment Program That Caters To Underserved Students.
Education by Design is a grass-roots intervention non-profit program for school aged children in need of academic, social, and emotional, support, from 2nd to 11th grade.
How We Started...
Rooted in a commitment of more than 25 years of advocacy for community development and self-empowerment, the organization’s founder Dr. Joycelyne Fadojutimi, transformed her doctoral studies into action with the establishment of Education by Design, an innovative non-profit organization to combat the ills of poverty, low educational attainment, and hopelessness.
Who We Help
The majority of students served are from low-income, under-resourced, single parent, minority families where examples of academic attainment and success are limited. Hence, Education by Design tutors, mentors, and coaches for academic achievement and constructive character development to assist students and their families in transformation.
