Armstead Academic Project

Founded in 2019 by Arik Armstead and Dr. Mindy Armstead, Armstead Academic Project began in Sacramento with a simple belief: a student’s zip code should never define their access to opportunity. Today, AAP serves students through immersive Career Camps, long-term Thrive School partnerships, literacy initiatives, and community-based programming in Sacramento, Jacksonville, and beyond, while building a national model for expanding access through education, exposure, and relationships.
