About Jeanne Langley

After a career spent in sales and sales training, selling research and consulting, I am delighted to be fundraising for Students to Scholars, a new non-profit of which I am a co-founder. Our mission is to empower promising middle school students from under-resourced communities to access and excel in local independent middle schools, preparing them for success in high school and college. Working with The Boys & Girls Club of Durham and Orange counties, The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club, and five Durham, NC independent schools, Triangle Day School, Duke School, Durham Academy, Trinity School, and Carolina Friends School, Students to Scholars identifies promising 3rd-5th grade students and assists them in applying to these schools for middle school and to succeeding there. At these schools they will have the opportunity of an outstanding education that will prepare them for the college track in high school and eventually, for college. Students to Scholars is a unique approach to the continuing problem of he achievement/opportunity gap between Back and LatinX students and White and Asian students. Students to Scholars seeks to give children from historically underserved communities an opportunity for a competitive education that will erase that gap. The results are exciting. S2S children are thriving academically and socially at their new schools and they and their families are enriching the culture of their schools. I hope you will help us keep providing this opportunity to more children.
