From "U" University is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization, that believes in the short and long term educational and socio-economic benefits of progressive early learning and gifted educational opportunities. We are rooted in the belief that learning starts at birth.
To date we have published our website, which provides access to free early learning and development resources, information, and learning tools. Also, after much debate we have launched our first personalized and customizable early learning tool, which features the curriculum of one of our local educational partners, Foundations 4 AdVANCEment. Currently,
From "U" University is focused on the continued development and implementation of our early education and gifted enrichment programs. Our programming and initiatives are especially developed for pre-primary age children (0-5 years) and and their families. Programs, initiatives, and services include; dual language immersion (ASL-Spanish), baby math, baby tutoring, parent coaching (early learning), gifted advocacy, and socio-emotional support for gifted families.
From "U" University is as an extension of Youth Financial Services NFP, incorporated in 2007. Youth Financial Services NFP was created to address the socio-economic need for the provision of financial literacy to underrepresented and disadvantaged youth ages 15-24 years old. Over the years Youth Financial Services NFP has provided financial literacy presentations and workshops to over 500 inner-city youth of Chicago. With the desire to grow, evolve, and have broader long-term socio-economic impact, Youth Financial Service NFP formed From "U" University. From "U" University then took on the task of addressing the lack of resources, tools, and support for advanced early learning and gifted education in underrepresented demographic areas.
