Springboard To Opportunities

Where hope and opportunity meet. We believe all families deserve a future not pre-destined by circumstances.

Springboard to Opportunities is a nonprofit organization working alongside residents of federally subsidized housing as they pursue their goals in school, work, and life. Springboard is, first and foremost, a community partner committed to listening and responding to the needs and perspectives of families with limited financial resources. Through personalized navigation support, we connect residen

ts to essential services, coaching support, opportunities to build social capital, and much more. Resident relationships drive our work, ensuring that all programs and initiatives align with community voices and continuously evolve to meet residents’ shifting needs. Our strategic priorities focus on deepening residents’ socioeconomic well-being, shaping policy, disrupting harmful narratives, and expanding possibilities for low-income communities nationwide.

Students are returning to college campuses across the country, but before they attend the first lecture, join an organization or meet a roommate, someone has to answer a more fundamental question: how will we pay for this? 🎓💸

Our CEO, Aisha Nyandoro, dives into this in her latest Forbes contribution. 🔗 in bio!

“We forget that during the summertime kids are at home 24 hours a day. It’s already hard economically for a lot of people, but the kids shouldn’t have to suffer.”

As many states across the country are going back to school we want to remind everyone, whether you have kids or not, that children shouldn’t have to go hungry during the summer. One of our mothers, Ebony, here in explains it best 🍽️💚

Summer EBT, also known as SUN Bucks, is more than just providing meals to families. It provides stability and nourishment during the summer months when kids are out of school. Jasmine, a mother of three boys, explains. 🍽️💸

Earlier this year we took a group of our mothers here in to visit their legislators at the MS State Capitol. It is essential that the people who live and breathe the effects of policy changes have the chance to tell their stories and be heard. When our state opts out of programs like SUN Bucks it reaches the roughly 320,000 Mississippi children who rely on free meals during the school year.

Our COO, Paheadra, explains ✨💚
