Who We Are:
EEqual’s vision is to see a future in which every student receives an EEqual opportunity to achieve their full potential in education regardless of their economic background.
We first started as a small group of middle schoolers perplexed by the fact that over 1.5 million of our classmates across the United States were experiencing homelessness. Seeking to create a change in our community, EEqual was born.
When we launched in 2020, we got right to work. We started building out our team and getting our programming ready to start making an impact. We placed 3rd among both for-profit and non-profit start-ups in Denver’s Largest Pitch Contest.
In just 8 short months, we have supported 5 students who have struggled with homelessness through the entirety of their higher education. In addition, we have engaged hundreds of teens across the nation in our work, amounting to thousands of hours giving back to our community. We’ve been featured in Thrive Global, The Christian Science Monitor, The Causeartist, and even on TV.
The best part? We are just getting started.
In 2021, we’re looking to expand our mission and vision across the U.S. through a nationwide network of chapters powered by youth, while also supporting the dreams of higher education for more students in need. As a part of this, we’re growing our team!
