Community Outreach: A Better Chance
 A Better Chance
is the preeminent resource for identifying, recruiting and developing leaders among young people of color throughout the United States.
Since the founding of A Better Chance in 1963, its mission has rested on a single goal: to substantially increase the number of well-educated minority youth capable of assuming positions of responsibility and leadership in American society.
Through a range of programs, A Better Chance works with students of color-from the sixth grade through college-to help them access expanded educational and career opportunities.
The A Better Chance mission consists of five parts:
• To provide educational opportunities to students of color with the talent and potential to excel academically through their recruitment and placement into some of the nation's most outstanding secondary schools.
• To provide assistance and guidance to the schools, students and families to ensure the best possible learning experiences.
• To provide direct academic and career development assistance, and to generate opportunities and support for these students in the corporate and public sectors.
• To expand the universe of students served by A Better Chance, and to develop and nurture their potential.
• To advocate for our students and for our educational viewpoints and strategies.
