My Project

We are seeking donations to purchase a collection of SEL-focused books that can be utilized by our students and incorporated into counseling sessions. These books cover a variety of essential topics such as emotional regulation, empathy, communication, mindfulness, and conflict resolution. Through these resources, we aim to foster a learning environment where every student feels supported and empowered to manage their emotions and develop critical life skills.

We believe that with the right resources, we can create a space where students not only excel academically but also thrive emotionally and socially.

Your generous contribution would allow us to purchase these books, which will directly benefit our students by providing them with the tools they need to cope with the challenges they face both in and outside of the classroom.

We would be deeply grateful for your support in this endeavor. Your donation, no matter the size, will have a meaningful and lasting impact on the students we serve. Thank you for considering us!
