ABOUT SEEDS

SEEDS Access Changes Everything (founded in 1992 as NJ SEEDS) is a privately funded, nonprofit organization. We change the lives of motivated, high-achieving students from households with limited means by transforming their educational opportunities.

SEEDS programs include advanced academic classes, cultural enrichment opportunities, and leadership training to prepare students for placement at exceptional educational institutions where they can realize their full potential. We encourage our alumni to be leaders who give back to the community. With more than 200 students per year and more than 3,400 graduates, every member of SEEDS 25-person main office staff and 75-person site staff understands how their work contributes to students success every day.

In addition, students take part in a three-week residential session during the summer before their senior year in high school.
