Welcome!
Heads Up is a non-profit organization that provides rigorous after-school and summer programs for elementary school children in the D.C. area’s most underserved neighborhoods.
Through our intensive, literacy-based program, children gain the skills they need to succeed in school and later in life. By enlisting college students as classroom tutors, we inspire a new generation of leaders committed to strengthening their communities.
With this unique approach of partnering college students with elementary school kids, Heads Up is changing lives, two at a time.
