AIM gives students in grades 3–12 the academic, mentoring and family support they need to succeed, across Dallas, Ellis and Tarrant counties.
The Problem
Grades 3–12 is where futures get decided and where kids fall through the cracks.
A student who falls behind in fourth grade rarely catches up on their own. A teenager without a mentor or a plan rarely finds direction by accident. Across Dallas, Ellis and Tarrant counties, hundreds of students are capable of far more than their transcripts show, they just haven't had anyone in their corner long enough to prove it.
That's where AIM steps in.
