How Tech Divides the Back-To-School Experience in LA

The Fulfillment Fund works to make college a reality for students
growing up in educationally and economically under-resourced
communities. To this end, our services build pathways to college,
help students navigate educational barriers, create life-changing
support networks, and empower future leaders.
