The Taco Bell Foundation for Teens is committed to inspiring teens across America to graduate from high school and succeed in life.  Our efforts are focused on national awareness and fundraising initiatives to provide youth with mentors and real-world experiences proven to keep teens on the path to graduation.  80% of dropouts said they were more likely to stay in school had they been exposed to more real world learning.* We support experiences focused on careers, community service and education.
