  • Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader!

    Funded Oct 19, 2024

    I would like to thank Kleenex and the other private donors who fully funded this great initiative to provide my scholars with a cozy reading environment. Some scholars have a hard time reading in traditional classroom desks. This project will improve the reading proficiency of my scholars and inspire them to read more in class.”

  • Help Dual Credit Scholars Connect to World Class Universities

    Funded Nov 9, 2023

    Your donation had a tremendous impact on the scholars in this course. The scholars were enrolled in an Environmental Science course with Howard University last academic year. The college-in-high school course required the scholars to investigate environmental concerns in their local community and make suggestions to address these concerns to the mayor and other local officials. The scholars created a community asset map via a PowerPoint presentation and a Google Earth story map. The donated laptop helped 100% of the scholars in the course pass and receive college credit.

    Moreover, all of the students are enrolled in colleges and universities around the country. Our class had the highest overall GPA in the country. We scored the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th and 10th highest scores out of over 100 scholars in the nation. Two scholars were offered full rides to Howard University and started classes last week.”

  • Dual Credit Scholars Need Your Help

A desk with adequate workspace is essential meeting the academic needs of our scholars. Thank you again for your generous donation.”
