Our Background
Where We've Been, and Where We're Going
Welcome to The Walk-On Foundation, where our mission is to empower students through a unique blend of technical and soft skills training. Our foundation was established with the vision of equipping students with the tools they need to excel both inside and outside the classroom, giving them a competitive edge in their academic and professional journeys.
Our curriculum has been meticulously developed to meet the demands of the Department of Education to ensure it makes a meaningful impact at the elementary and middle school levels. We take pride in offering coursework that is not only age-appropriate but also scalable, making it accessible and beneficial for students at the high school level or if you are simply looking to get into learning how to program.
What sets us apart is our commitment to not only certifying our students but also supporting them throughout their educational paths. From enhancing college applications to providing potential employment opportunities, we are dedicated to fostering their growth and success.
At The Walk-On Foundation, we believe in nurturing talent and providing students with the skills they need to thrive. Join us in making a difference in the lives of the next generation.
Timeline
2019
Founded in April 2019, The Walk-On Foundation initially focused on supporting students through scholarships awarded to graduating high school seniors in our community.
2020 - 2024
We prioritized validating our curriculum to enhance classroom support and secure its inclusion as either a core or elective offering in schools reminiscent of our own educational backgrounds. Additionally, we have contributed backpacks, school supplies, and laptops to our partner schools. Our community engagement extends to hosting Parent Workshops and Student Hackathons, designed to foster creativity and involve families in the learning process.
2024 - Present
While we continue to partner with local schools, we are excited to expand access to our frontend development curriculum through an online platform. This resource is designed for learners of all ages. Happy learning!
