Appy Sessions Live wins the prestigious Award of Excellence in Education! Thank you TN Association of Museums. We're proud of our team and grateful for our partners and sponsors. This victory lights the way to a brighter future for Appalachia's underserved students
Talk is cheap. Action looks like 1,500 kids finding their future.
You can sit in a boardroom and debate Tennessee’s workforce, or you can spark a fire in the minds of the middle schoolers who will actually build it.
At Appalachia Sessions, we chose the fire.
100,000 at Neyland. @realDonaldTrump. is in #TENNESSEE. But who is the REAL UT? 🍊 or 🤘?
Davy Crockett died for Texas at the Alamo. Today, these kids from his hometown in White Pine, TN are standing on a college campus yelling "I DO" to their future. WATCH!
$400 sends 1 student to this program.
Challenge: Volunteers show up because it’s in their blood. Longhorns show up to honor the legend who died for their state. Which fanbase sponsors more kids ? 🔗 appysessions.com/donate

Just a field trip? Well, Doge Chair @reptimburchett says Appalachia Sessions Live isn't waste.
Burchett watched 1,000 TN kids on the UT campus and said, kids look at that campus and now say "maybe that could be me."
Passed the Burchett test.

20k kids a year. 100k in 5. He said it on camera, so now we have to do it.
Sen. Briggs stood in a college hallway full of middle schoolers and said "100,000 children" out loud, on video, with a mic on. TY, Senator. No pressure.
Somebody Finally Asked.
One in ten Tennessee kids never finds a career. Most were never asked what they wanted to be.
These 1,000 were, on a college campus, by THEC, Walters State, and Metro Drug Coalition, the people who can actually make it happen. And they felt it.
Then Chris Blue asked one more question: who puts your dreams into action?
And they screamed, "I do."
Stowers CAT sponsored this because they see who's going to build East Tennessee next. $400 asks the next kid. appysessions.com/donate

Which Company Hires the Most Tennessee Grads?
21st Mortgage says it does. More UT, ETSU, and Maryville College grads than anyone since 2006. Now the kids know where the jobs are too.
"Every student should know what careers are out there," says Bob Eby, Chairman of the State Board of Education. One in ten never finds out.
Appalachia Sessions is changing that. Thousands of kids. One campus. Role models, trades, pathways, all in one day.
Then Chris Blue asks who writes their story.
They leave chanting, "I do."

Roll That Beautiful Kid Footage.
Bush's won't tell you their recipe. Here's ours.
Take Jefferson and Hancock County teachers. Add a college campus, local role models, a room full of trades, and a concert. Stir until every kid in the arena screams "I do." Serve free.
"A better Appalachian, a better student, a better person," says Myra Denton.
Not bad for a Tuesday.
One in ten Tennessee kids never gets a career. These won't be. $400 per serving.

A Congressman, a Senator, and the State Board Chairman Walked Into an Arena.
Then 1,000 Tennessee kids told them who leads their life. "I do."
One in ten Tennessee kids never gets a career. It costs the state $1.32 billion a year.
Congressman Tim Burchett, Sen. Richard Briggs, and State Board Chairman Bob Eby have seen the fix in person. "They see that they can do this," Briggs said. Every level of Tennessee government has signed on. 10,000 kids reached. Now it needs you.
