Who is Growing the Distance?

The experience

Our purpose.

The purpose of Growing the Distance Inc., is to promote college readiness by creating mind stimulating activities, providing clubs and promoting character development. Growing the Distance Inc. strives to cater to the interest of each individual child by providing  daily activities and learning what it means to give back to our community through service learning and volunteerism. Our goal is to incorporate reading, writing, and STEM activities into our daily routine to help students embrace academics in a fun way to close the covid-19 learning loss gap. See below for details!
