Benefits that build a brighter future for teens. families. parents. your community.
Empowerly makes it easy for community-based organizations to deliver accessible education and career guidance.
Why it matters
Breaking down barriers to opportunity
90% of families struggle to find guidance for their child’s future. With student-to-counselor ratios reaching 450:1 (and up to 1000:1 in underserved communities), most high schoolers receive less than 30 minutes of personalized guidance each year.
First-generation and working families often lack access to private counselors, creating barriers to college and career advancement. We believe every student deserves guidance and opportunity.
