The learning gap is growing.
Over the past 40 years, parents in high-income communities have increased spending on their kids’ enrichment tenfold compared to parents in low-income communities. The gap is biggest outside the classroom. By age 12, the learning gap can be as much as 6,000 hours.
6,000 Hour Learning Gap
At the Andy Roddick Foundation, we work to close that gap every single day. For approximately $7 per hour, a child receives engaging, high-quality programming that builds academic skills, confidence, and a love of learning.
Seven dollars. That is what it takes to provide one hour of opportunity.
We’re eliminating the learning gap.
