The Wisconsin Education Association of Student Support Programs (WEASSP) provides educational and instructional services to economically disadvantaged students in elementary, middle and high school. We accomplish this by doing the following:

• Supporting and promoting the recruitment, retention, career development and equal opportunities for students enrolled in P-5, Title I and Pre-College Programs
• Promoting fiscal planning, training, and personnel counseling, including conducting workshops and seminars to educate students, parents and staff in P-5, Title I, and Pre-College Programs.
• Developing the capability to make timely and meaningful responses to issues and concerns (legislative and/or administrative) effecting P-5, Title I, and Pre-College Programs.
• Developing a communication network and sponsoring an annual education conference to enhance the effectiveness of the members of WEASSP as they interact with students.
• Coordinating efforts with other organizations and persons that have similar goals and objectives.
