Our Partners

Working Together for Student Success 

Access Youth’s main working partners are the Ward 7 & 8 schools in which we operate: Anacostia, Ballou, Eastern, and H.D. Woodson high schools and their feeder middle schools, Hart, Johnson, Kelly Miller, and Kramer. Access Youth partners with District agencies, private foundations, local businesses, and other community-based organizations to provide consistent, caring support exactly where students need it most—in their schools, every day.  Additionally, we serve on task forces and in working groups to advocate for students and share best practices throughout the District.
