Pull Up Fund partners with Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) and Heart of America to renovate 46 media centers across the school district
Pull Up Fund recently provided a multi-million dollar grant to support a district-wide media center renovation project led by Heart of America for Prince George’s County Public Schools. The initiative will transform media centers and libraries in 46 schools and create a new 47th space to support training and professional development for the district’s librarians and educators.
Beyond revitalizing these spaces, the partnership will also introduce new technology resources, deliver more than 72,000 new books throughout PGCPS, and bring beautification projects to life, while tailoring renovations to each school community’s needs. The initiative is a one-of-a-kind public-private partnership designed to reimagine and revamp physical places that can address education inequities and set students up for success.
Pull Up Fund is committed to supporting the youth in Prince George’s County and connecting them with the resources they need to thrive. This project is an example of the transformative impact that can affect how PGCPS students learn for years to come.
