Inspiring Success.

At Back 2 School America, we believe that every child deserves the chance to succeed, regardless of their circumstances. Our mission is to equip under-resourced students with the essential school supplies they need to thrive in the classroom and beyond. For over 15 years, we've helped bridge the gap between potential and opportunity, ensuring that no child is held back by a lack of resources.

Together, with our dedicated partners and volunteers, we've supplied over 400,000 students a year, nationwide, with the tools they need to excel academically. Our work doesn’t stop there. By providing students with the confidence that comes from being prepared, we’re opening doors to a brighter future and helping them build the foundation for lifelong success.
