Embracing and educating society's neglected kids

Do You Have a Heart to Help At-Risk Youth?
We largely rely on donors who have a heart to help at-risk youth to get on the right path... one that leads to high school graduation and the skills to succeed in life.
McAdams Academy is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. Unlike public schools, we do not receive revenue from taxes, and unlike top private schools, we do not receive revenue from well-to-do families.
We truly need support from people like you.
MCADAMS ACADEMY:
The Only Option for Wichita's Expelled, Suspended, and Neglected Kids
-
Kids in foster care can miss four to six months of school each time they change placement.
-
Graduation rates are about 50% for kids in foster care.
-
About 30% of expelled kids will end up in the justice system.
-
Kids who are expelled from Wichita Public Schools are given no options to continue their education during their expulsion periods.
-
Kids who are victims of trauma, abuse, or neglect are often not equipped with the skills to succeed in school or life. When behavior issues surface, instead of receiving guidance from a supportive adult, they may receive punitive actions such as suspensions and expulsions.

What Volunteer Needs Does McAdams Have?
We love our volunteers and have a huge need for them! Adults have a greater influence on children than peers. Research shows that mentoring is the best way to change the behavior of children. Whether it’s serving lunch, helping a student with coursework, answering the phone in the office, or being on our events committee, we would love for you to join us! Call us or fill out the volunteer application.
Thank you to this year's sponsors!
