Community Building to Create a Sense of Belonging

Funded Sep 4, 2024

This gift was given students more spaces and places to connect with each other and nature.

It has been a joy to watch them create community and develop friendships.

There's something magical about the kids seeing blankets and games along the grassy quad that makes them joyful. When asked the students share that they feel like they're at a park and not in the middle of our busy city.

As we've done this activity across a few months the students have now come to support the set up and tear down of materials ensuring the integrity of each blanket, folded and games put together. We did not know that this gift would also build collective accountability.”

With gratitude,
