As a student-run organization, ACCESS: Allowing Children a Chance at Education, Inc. focuses on the importance of education. Education is a basic human right. Unfortunately, nearly 120 million children are out of school around the world today.

However, there are two UN Millennium Development Goals that relate directly to education, one of them to "ensure that all boys and girls complete a full course of primary schooling". This is the emphasis on education that ACCESS believes is crucial for a successful global future.
