Educate 35 is a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening education across LaSalle, Marshall, and Putnam counties. We support Regional Office of Education 35 to better serve students, empower educators, and uplift schools throughout our community.
We support students, educators, and schools across our region by providing:
Targeted interventions for our most vulnerable students
Professional development, supplies, and services for educators
Enhanced health and safety resources for local schools
Scholarships for aspiring teachers and students pursuing post-secondary education
— and more ways to strengthen education in our community.
Student Achievement Mentor Program Incentives
We provide incentives that encourage and support students participating in the ROE 35 mentor program.
ROE 35 Care Closet
We fund and maintain a Care Closet to meet the basic needs of students in the ROE 35 mentor and truancy programs.
During the 2025–26 school year, ROE 35 supports 27 student achievement mentors across 22 schools, reaching nearly 900 students. Our incentive program rewards students for meeting goals and making meaningful progress.

"Thank you for being there and giving me good advice. I like that I can talk to you when I need to."
"Just wanted to say thank you for talking to me this morning. After that I was able to focus on the positives and have a great day."
