Inner-City Learning Initiative
The EY Learning initiative is an after-school program that provides youth between the ages of 4 to 19, residing in 14 economically disadvantaged, inner-city Knoxville neighborhoods with academic support through individualized learning based on students’ needs. The program includes tutoring, homework help, health/fitness/nutrition instruction, field trips, and service-learning opportunities. The goal is to help Knoxville’s urban young people do well enough in each grade to finish high school, complete college, or further training, and find a good job or career.
Emerald Youth Foundation is working to close the education gap for students in Knoxville.
