Inventure Academy has planned and implemented a Community Outreach Programme run by its students and faculty. Parents of students also participate in the program, thereby reinforcing the importance of the programme to their children. Inventure Academy’s Community Outreach Programme is designed to reach out to the students of the government schools in the vicinity by teaching the children English language skills, while these students in turn teach Kannada to their “instructors.” Computer Literacy and Sports are also emphasized. The intrinsic sentiment behind Inventure Academy’s Community Outreach Programme is that its students and faculty, as individuals from more privileged backgrounds, must be sensitive to the needs of those less privileged than themselves.
Inventure Academy has officially adopted 3 of the below mentioned schools so as to promote a deeper intervention. Students of Inventure Academy put up a mega stage show and the entire proceeds of the show, Rupees 8 Lakhs, was donated to GUHPS, Dommasandra to improve the current infrastructure of the school.
The schools we have been working with are:
- GKHPS Handenahalli
- GKHPS Thigala Choudadena Halli (TC Halli)
- GUHPS Dommasandra.
- GULPS Bellandur
- GKHPS Siddapura
- Government High School,Gunjur
- Saturday Program
Faculty of Inventure along with students of grades 6-9 visit 4 Government schools on Saturdays and is involved in teaching English especially improving the reading levels of the students of the Government school. They in turn learn Kannada from the government school students. At certain schools, students also impart computer skills.

These are skills that can help children get a job or create a job once they complete their education.
