My Students

My students come from an area where our schools are historically underfunded and lack the appropriate materials and programing to provide optimal learning experiences. Many of our students deal with high levels of precarity in the forms of poverty, traumatic experiences, violence, gun violence, and a variety of other issues. Despite these horrible circumstances, our students show up daily ready to learn and hoping for new experiences that challenge them to grow. Please, join and assist us in improving their overall education by improving their school experience.

My Project

This project will allow me to introduce the sport of badminton. We are an under-resourced school district in Southeastern Pennsylvania that depends on grants and partnerships in order to provide sufficient equipment and materials for our youth to have the opportunity to engage in activities that are not typically offered within their community.

This project will allow us to introduce Badminton, as well as a variety of other net and racket activities to our community.

In addition to badminton we can introduce games like pickleball, volleyball, and more! Funding this project allows us to provide enriching activities beyond what we can currently offer.
