Education for a Better America (EBA), a not-for-profit organization started by his eldest daughter, Dominique Sharpton, has targeted high school dropout prevention in some of the nation’s largest urban areas.
“We want to build bridges between policymakers and the classrooms by supporting innovations in the delivery of education, creating a dialogue between policymakers, community leaders, educators, parents and students, and disseminating information and findings that will positively impact our schools,” says Dominique Sharpton, who is president of EBA’s board of directors.
The initiative also seeks to be a resource in helping connect minority students to information about college planning, admissions, financial aid and other pertinent information related to higher education.
