Poverty
WILL NOT LIMIT
their Potential.
Nashville is a city on the rise, earning global attention as a
place lled with opportunity.
As four year olds, Emmanuel and Gregory dont yet realize
there is another story for Nashvilles poorest community
All too often, children who live in poverty and attend low
performing schools, grow up to be parents in poverty
continuing the cycle.
Thomas and Miles are on track to succeed academically,
graduate high school, attend college, realize a fullling career and
give back to our community. Like Emmanuel and Gregory, they are
changing expectations of what youth in poverty can achieve.
Martha OBryan Center invests deeply in the lives of children
and families at every stage of life, by providing great schools,
family support and pathways to college, empowering them
to reach their full potential.
where 96% of children live in poverty
and only 60% of students nish high school.
