Ed Rocks Fact

If every school aged child in the US was to sponsor the education of a child in a developing nation, we could eradicate the cycle of poverty around the world

AND…

We are bold enough to believe that can happen over the next five years.

How it works

Education Rocks is found in schools around the U.S. and our team is on the ground in several developing countries building out a network of kids in need. We help connect them with kids back in the U.S. who care and sign on to sponsor their education.
US Sponsors create their own fundraising platform, Committing to raise $365 to sponsor a year of school for their sponsored student.

US Kids develop a close relationship with the student they are sponsoring through ongoing communication including letter writing and the exchange of artwork.

Sponsors develop leadership skills by learning life skills, business skills, nurturing relationship skills and through participation in Annual Leadership Summits. Club Board Members gain additional skills in organizational management.

The Education Rocks Portal

The Education Rocks Portal is unique and proprietary software developed to connect our sponsors to the students they support. Sponsors register and pair with their student. The Portal allows them to write letters to each other and for the Sponsor to maintain their profile requirements and track their donations. The Portal is the technology engine that powers all of Education Rock’s activities.

Meet Our Founders –
How Ed Rocks Got Its Start

Our journey began in Bali in 2010 with one school supporting the educational needs of one child. Today we are dozens of schools strong across several states supporting the educational needs of nearly 1,000 children in several developing nations annually. While our Founders are the heart and soul of Education Rocks, we are now run by a professional Board of Advisors and a small professional staff.
