STRIVE Scholarships

Our STRIVE Scholarship program ensures that every child has access to enriching, normal childhood experiences by covering the cost of extracurricular activities like driver’s training, sports, art, music, field trips, yearbooks, and more. These activities aren’t just for fun—they’re essential for building resilience, confidence, and a sense of belonging. By supporting these experiences, ASPIREKids empowers youth to thrive, creating a foundation for strong, healthy futures.

ASPIRE Outfitters

ASPIRE Outfitters provides clothing for our most vulnerable: unhoused, foster and low-income youth. ASPIRE Outfitters provides new and gently used clothing to these children in a brand new duffel bag for them to keep.

The Locker Room

Sometimes, getting a child to an activity is only the beginning—the real barrier can be the cost of equipment. Through The Locker Room, we provide essential athletic gear, ensuring every child has the tools they need to fully participate, grow, and succeed in the sports they love.

STRIVE Education Scholarships
