Cost of Saving a Child

We have been able to cut the per student cost without taking away from program quality. The cost per site is approximately $2,000 per student serving 200-250. This number includes core and drop students that come in for homework assistance.

That is the cost of saving an inner-city child's life in Nashville. That doesn't necessarily mean a child's physical life though that may be the case. It refers specifically to their future, their families, their own children and grandchildren.
