Each of our friends has a different reason for becoming involved. In the words of Ray Oglethorpe, retired President of AOL and Vero Beach resident, “If it weren’t for a strong education, I would be working in the coal mines. I worry about the future for my children and grandchildren, but have hope because of innovative programs like The Learning Alliance.”

What inspires your passion? Is it…

·        Knowing someone who has struggled with learning?

·        Seeing the smile on a child’s face when they learn something they thought was impossible?

·        A belief that teachers can transform children’s lives if given the right tools and opportunity?

·        A desire to create a future for Indian River County that is vibrant and economically successful?

·        Helping needy children earn a key to the American Dream?

·        Stopping the trend of dependence and victimization afflicting our country?

·        A belief that the entrepreneurialism that made our country great can be harnessed to fix our educational system.
