My Project

My middle school students can attend afterschool and have a safe and nurturing environment while their parents work instead of going home and possibly getting into trouble. My students LOVE to eat, work on STEM projects and just enjoy being around their friends as well as group leaders.

In my afterschool program, we take the time to really get to know the student and do things that they like to do while also enjoying each other.

We get requests to cook which costs alot but we make it happen for them.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
