AVID’s mission is to close the opportunity gap by preparing all students for college and career readiness and success in a global society. #AVID4Possibility AVID is a nonprofit helping educators close the opportunity gap so they can prepare all students for college, career, and life. AVID’s mission is to close the opportunity gap by preparing all students for college and career readiness and success in a global society. We partner with schools so that students, particularly students in the academic middle, will be successful in college and a career. AVID believes that the most effective way to help schools is to improve the quality of their teachers' instruction. This builds sustainability and positive morale directly into the fabric of a school and district. And a marked improvement in a community's schools creates ripples of benefit for the community. It is vital to involve the community in the success of its schools, and AVID is delivered in such a way that the family created in AVID can be extended to a community of hope for the success of students.
