About the
Will Allen Foundation
In an era of unprecedented change and advances in technology, the Will Allen Foundation is committed to equipping students from under-resourced neighborhoods with the tools they need to navigate an ever-evolving future. As tech advances at lightning speed and the world becomes more interconnected, our goal is to ensure that students are not only prepared for the challenges ahead but are also empowered to thrive in an unpredictable landscape through exposure to STEM fields such as robotics and AI, life skill development and a broadened perspective.
Through our critical programming, the Will Allen Foundation helps level the playing field in under-resourced communities.

Sharing Purposeful Acts of Kindness
The Will Allen Foundation reframes philanthropy, showing students that they are not just recipients of help, but capable leaders who can create change through simple but powerful actions. By fostering this mindset early, we are building a ripple effect of empathy, trust, and dignity in communities that have often felt forgotten.

Each year, the program supports 60 families and more than 300 individuals.

Pathways
Navigating the path to a successful career can often feel uncertain. With the support of the Will Allen Foundation, students are able to discover new opportunities and possibilities for future careers in nursing, the electrical industry and healthcare support in IT and print shop jobs. The Will Allen Foundation is on a mission to redefine how students approach their careers, creating pathways in high-demand fields where students can receive free training and certification, and a living wage job with a guaranteed position upon successful program completion. Through the Pathways program, we offer a variety of customized options designed to empower students with the tools and guidance necessary to chart their own paths toward achieving their career goals.
