Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In addition to learning in the classroom, our school requires students to spend half their school time off campus at internships throughout the city to gain tangible and meaningful learning experiences.

Students have busy schedules and some struggle with housing and food security.

Many students skip breakfast and other meals throughout their school and internship days. Most teachers in my school regularly spend money out of their own pockets buying food for students.

The cost of food in NYC is a barrier to many when finding healthy and affordable options for students.

Many of our internships are either in food deserts or in areas where the cost of food is beyond unaffordable. Many of our internship sites aren't financially able to provide meals for our students.

Ms. Torres High School 560 - City as School Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
