Honoring the Burton Family

The Burton Family has transformed thousands of lives through the Ron Burton Training Village (RBTV), founded in 1985 by former Patriots player Ron Burton Sr. to support underserved youth across Massachusetts. Carrying forward his vision, JoAnn Burton and all five Burton children have dedicated their lives to expanding this mission, building a program that has now served more than 14,000 young men and women.

Through their unwavering commitment to fostering character, leadership, and academic excellence in those who need it most, the Burton Family embodies the very spirit of service we are proud to honor with our Champions for Service Award.

About Us

School the World's mission is to disrupt the cycle of extreme poverty through the power of quality education.

Yes, we build schools, but that is not enough. To create lasting change, you also have to reach children early, train teachers, deeply engage parents, stock libraries and expand access to education after pirmary school. So, we do all of that too, and that's our difference.

On our journey to create a more just world, our Global Citizenship program amplifies our impact at home and abroad.
