As students return to classrooms, libraries, and learning labs this fall, there’s another group heading into back-to-school season with purpose: the .ORGs that make education more equitable, accessible, and inspiring for learners everywhere. They are shaping the future of education and proving that learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom, it happens wherever people come together to share knowledge, create opportunity, and uplift the next generation.
These are some .ORGs providing quality education from rural communities in Central America to remote locations in the Philippines, launching free mobile classrooms, and supporting students and educators with training and tools. They may not be featured in textbooks, but their work is writing a powerful story of impact.
Spotlight: .ORGs Making a Difference in Education
Here are just a few of the many .ORGs championing learning around the world:
School the World (schooltheworld.org)
For School the World, access to quality education has never been a privilege, it’s a right, no matter where a child is born. In rural communities across Central America, their approach goes beyond classrooms. It brings students, families, teachers, and entire communities into the process, to learn, grow, and thrive together.
Khan Academy (khanacademy.org)
A global leader in free, high-quality online education, Khan Academy ensures that students, teachers, and parents everywhere have access to personalized learning tools—no matter their income or location.
By expanding access to computer science in schools and increasing participation among underrepresented youth, Code.org is preparing students for the digital jobs of tomorrow while advocating for equity in STEM education.
Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation (yellowboat.org)
The Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation provides children with opportunity and access to education by providing yellow boats to remote Philippine communities. Their transformative work ensures no child is left behind, fostering hope and creating lasting impact in underserved regions.
These are just a few examples of how .ORGs are putting educational equity into action.
A New School Year, A New Chance to Support a Cause
As backpacks fill up and school years begin, we invite you to support the .ORGs advancing education in your community and beyond. Whether you donate, volunteer, partner, or simply help spread the word, your support helps build a future where every child has the chance to learn, grow, and thrive.
Education is more than a pathway to opportunity, it’s a fundamental right. And with every .ORG leading the way, we get closer to a world where education is accessible to all.
