AT&T Aspire: Helping Students Prepare for the Future

AT&T Aspire: Helping Students Prepare for the Future
AT&T | Newsroom

The greatly expanded effort centers on a new, $250 million financial commitment planned over 5 years. AT&T Aspire will build on that commitment by using technology to connect with students in new and more effective ways, such as with interactive gamification, Web-based content and social media. The company will also tap the innovation engine of the AT&T Foundry to look for fresh or atypical approaches to educational obstacles. Finally, AT&T Aspire will capitalize on the power of personal connections in the form of mentoring, internships and other voluntary efforts that involve many of AT&T's approximately 260,000 employees. The Aspire effort already has impacted more than one million U.S. high school students, helping them prepare for success in the workplace and college.

Why I Mentor
By Xavier Williams People have always invested in me, so I made a personal commitment long ago to give back as much as I could. That’s why for more than a decade I have mentored young people, as people have mentored me, through my church, fraternity and workplace.
