Chairman's Message
On behalf of the GLAAACC Education Fund & Foundation Board, it is my pleasure to welcome and thank you for visiting our site.
We are all aware of the impact that excessive student drop-out rates have on our communities – including hopelessness, crime and abandonment. We are also of aware of the challenges many young people face every day in getting back and forth to school safely, while perhaps also having the burden of younger siblings, or single parents, or ailing grandparents – or feeling that “college is like talking about a foreign country” – but still some excel.
