Education is key
Education Is Key is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with an ongoing annual campaign spearheaded by founder, Nicole "NeeKKo" Lindsey. The Education Is Key campaign was launched to raise funds for scholarships benefiting inner-city students in Los Angeles, yet aims to reach inner-cities across the nation. Through this organization and campaign, a culture of education is promoted, setting an example of self-sufficiency for the community. NeeKKo describes her vision as creating the "F.U.B.U. of fundraising," emphasizing the power of unity within the community to support causes that directly benefit them.
In its inaugural year, NeeKKo successfully raised $5,000 in collaboration with the community, enabling the granting of five scholarships to deserving inner-city students in Los Angeles. To date, Education Is Key has awarded over 40 scholarships and continues to expand its impact.
Education Is Key goes beyond scholarships by hosting an annual community event called We Outside, encouraging children and families to not only get back outside and play sometimes, but to engage in wellness activities and adopt healthy lifestyles as well. Additionally, the organization offers mentorship programs for high school juniors and seniors, providing them with essential skills and a mindset for success in both academic and personal endeavors.
Join NeeKKo in her commitment to fundraising, expanding scholarship opportunities for inner-city students, and developing community events and programs to empower more students in the future.
