This has been a year of disruptions , but in light of the challenges , we have been presented with the opportunity to reimagine our education system so that it emerges stronger than before COVID-19 . As school buildings closed , teachers and parents relied on BLCI ’ s support services in ways that we had not seen before . BLCI staff became essential in limiting the learning loss expected for most students this school year . The importance of schools and communities working together to support children ’ s learning has never been more evident , and BLCI is committed to doing its part to make the most of this opportunity to transform public education - so we can look back on this year as one that opened the door to progress and lasting change .

We invite you to visit our website , www . blci . org to make a donation today in support our mission , to break the cycle of poverty by preparing underserved students to be the first in their families to go to college , through after school programs that begin in third grade .
