The Knowledge, Access & Advancement Foundation (KAAF) is a youth advancement organization headquartered in Georgia, serving young people ages 10–25.

KAAF connects young people with knowledge, experiences, resources and opportunities that support educational achievement, leadership development, career advancement and economic mobility.

Knowledge. Access. Advancement.

KAAF’s work is guided by a simple model. Knowledge helps young people understand what possibilities exist. Access connects them with the opportunities, relationships, resources and experiences to reach those possibilities. Advancement is what young people build from there.

Six programs, one approach

KAAF’s programs meet young people at different stages of their development: Student Stability & Success; College & Career Pathways; Girls Who Lead; Workforce Development & Economic Mobility; Nourish & Thrive; and Enrichment & Exposure.

Rooted in Georgia and built for broader regional and national growth, KAAF works alongside young people, families, schools, businesses and community partners to connect potential with opportunity.
