A two-year program that creates a safe, supportive space for students — and lasting funding for their teachers.
Students have nowhere safe to go after school, and teachers are paying out of pocket for snacks and classroom supplies. Kids struggle to concentrate when they're hungry, and teachers can only do so much alone.
Donated space confirmed with a partner school.
Contract summaries posted to Transparency.
Two afternoons a week, ~20 students.
Snacks, resale and student art.
Attendance, store revenue and teacher-fund payout vs. targets.
Every member gets a post-project survey.
