My Project

Hi! My name is Amanda and I am the SAPIS Counselor at Staten Island Technical High School! Our students face numerous challenges daily that impact their mental health, and it is crucial to provide them with the appropriate support. We have been fortunate enough to adopt a larger "Calm Space" for our students however, we are lacking the necessary resources. The goal is to create an accessible space for our students to effectively address their needs. With your support, we can provide a more therapeutic and supportive environment for our students. The funds will be used for comfortable seating and furniture to store supplies for the students. Thank you!
