Commitment to Education

Fidelity is focused on helping at-risk middle school students achieve the foundational skills required to transition successfully to high school. Our engagement in education deepens and broadens Fidelity’s long-standing commitment to enhance the educational experiences among the neediest students in the regions where we live and work.

More than 7,000 students in the United States drop out of school daily. This translates to 1.2 million annually or one student every 26 seconds. Roughly 50% of school drop-outs occur in 9th grade. The middle-school years play a critical role in keeping students inspired and on track to receive a high school diploma. While all kids have the potential to succeed and make this happen, not all kids have the opportunities, environments or support systems to get there. Fidelity's focus on education is designed to contribute to closing this gap.

“If you want to prove that you can tackle new challenges and lead others, volunteer to teach an apprenticeship. At the end of the ten weeks, you will have made a wonderfully positive impact on the lives of young people.”
