A Decade of Access

President and Founder, Andrew Lovedale

“Access to Success started with a humble beginning of providing shoes, and in ten years, we have evolved into an organization that provides education and opportunity. The impact that we have had would not be possible without each of you. As part of our ten-year celebration, we invite you to participate and share your A2S story. In the first ten years, our community redefined what it means to be global citizens. We look forward to making a difference as we journey forward to the next ten years by inspiring change in the world through sustainable community-driven development.”
