My Project

In 1st Grade, many students wonder how they can be loud advocates for Social Justice issues that they are passionate about when they feel so small. It is easy to feel that you can only make a big change in the world when you are older and have more autonomy over yourself.

We want our students to know that they can make foundational changes in their school community regardless of their age.

They are a pivotal part of this future generation and they can voice their frustrations over Social Issues in a multitude of ways.

Donations to this project will help give students a device they can use to create relevant artwork and other designs that advocate for different causes they believe deserve more attention. These designs will be showcased on T-shirts, posters, and other different mediums.

We want our students to know that they have ability to make significant changes in their own community with their voice and the power of Art. Thank you!
