We will reach 25% of all middle schoolers in America with identified learning differences by 2024.
Nearly one million capable students with learning and attention differences (LD/ADHD) are failing in our schools today leading them to exit the system on a path towards failure throughout life, and it affects us all due to an increased burden on our social systems and the lost potential of what these capable individuals could contribute.
At Eye to Eye, we have a mantra of “more students, more schools”. Today, we are excited to share with you a plan that will enable us to reach hundreds of thousands of identified middle schoolers while continuing to grow our national movement of young leaders. Together this will create a more equitable school system.

Eye to Eye has a 20-year history of student-centered and evidence-based programming focused on social emotional skill development - a critically important skill set for students with LD/ADHD. We have served more than 10,000 students in a wide-range of school settings, and our intervention has been documented in more than a dozen studies and validated by a 3-year, peer-reviewed research study conducted by the University of California - San Francisco's BrainLENS Lab.
We know three factors have the power to change these students’ trajectories.
What does it take to achieve this level of impact to scale? We went on a learning journey to answer that question.

Eye to Eye has an ambitious plan to reach 25% of all middle school students with LD/ADHD. As we implement this plan and reach more students over the next 5 years, we will need your support more than ever. Eye to Eye will raise $60 million to support the plan, with $10 million needed to support our initial growth capital investments.
We can only achieve this goal with your support. Contact us today to learn more about how you can help us to amplify proven effective interventions and innovate new financially-sustainable program extensions for thousands of students nationwide.
