A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
I am a new social worker in North Minneapolis, working to help young people build the skills necessary to become the future thought leaders and changemakers of the world. This starts with building their self-esteem, conflict resolution skills, and positive decision-making abilities. It involves encouraging and building a growth mindset that helps them see that the challenges they face can be met with creativity and resilience.
Many of the young people I support have not always been served by the systems of which they are a part.
Through the work we do together they are able to see their gifts and unique talents, which leads them to excitement around their ability to contribute and see a positive future.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
