Our Story

At Paper Route Academy, we recognize that not everyone follows the traditional path to career success—and they shouldn’t have to. Too often, underserved communities face systemic barriers that limit their opportunities for financial stability and growth. Seeing this gap, our founder set out to change the narrative.  

 

Paper Route Academy was created to break the cycle of generational poverty by equipping individuals with the tools to build sustainable futures through entrepreneurship and housing stability. We believe in empowering aspiring business owners and changemakers with the skills, resources, and guidance needed to create a lasting economic impact.

 

By fostering self-sufficiency and ownership, we are dismantling the obstacles that have historically kept disadvantaged individuals from thriving. Paper Route Academy is more than a program, it’s a movement toward equity, opportunity, and financial freedom. 

 

Join us as we pave new routes to success!  

Our Team

At Paper Route Academy, our team is more than just a group of professionals, we are passionate changemakers committed to breaking barriers and creating lasting impact. Coming from diverse backgrounds, our team members bring not only educational expertise but also real-life experiences that resonate with the communities we serve.

 

We understand that true empowerment goes beyond instruction, it requires connection, trust and relatability.  That’s why our approach is rooted in lived experiences, allowing us to meet individuals where they are and provide guidance in a way that is both meaningful and transformative. This unique perspective fosters a deeper level of acceptance, making our programs more effective in driving sustainable change.
