Our efforts take a proactive approach to solve problems that lead to dropping out and support the success of our adult learners through certification and into promising careers. We do whatever it takes to ensure our scholars, families, and community members have the tools and resources needed to be successful.

PLA University is also unique in that it is part of a research-based, multi- generational approach. Our program creates economic security that passes from one generation to the next, effectively disrupting generational cycles of poverty.

PLA University in Indianapolis, IN and Fort Worth, TX is available to any adult age 18 or older in the surrounding communities. PLA University Virtual is available to any adult family member of a PLA scholar, regardless of location. It’s only through the generosity of charitable gifts that we are able to provide this life changing opportunity. We encourage you to learn more about PLA University at www.plauniversity.org.

“It honestly feels amazing to be actually planning as an entrepreneur instead of just dreaming. Yes, we are a long way from the finish line, but are closer to seeing and living our purpose in life. PLA University staff has shown us kindness and are always full of positive energy and encouraging words. We appreciate all PLA has contributed to helping us gain the confidence to plan to open up our own organization. We

learned so much during PLA

workshops and working with

PLA's partner, Launch Hope.”
