About Us

At Off the Ave Foundation we are dedicated to breaking down barriers to education and providing essential support for families in the Black and Brown communities. Our mission is clear: combat illiteracy and uplift underserved families. We believe that every individual, regardless of background, deserves access to quality education. By fostering a nurturing learning environment and offering vital resources, we empower these communities to thrive. With an each one teach one - big bro/big sis approach Together, we are building a future where knowledge knows no bounds, and families are equipped for success.

It’s easy for us, as human beings, to want our children to do certain things, but we have no idea. We’re just guides.
