Books for Young Adults

Help me give my students books in our space that are relevant guides as they become their own young adults.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. O'Meara's classroom raised $619

My Project

I want to expand our options of books in our space that students can explore and use. We work with 18-21 years old young adults, many have just become their own guardian and are trying to navigate the world in addition to the many emotions and passions that they have.

These books would be used within our class area library for all students to get to access and utilize as they are interested.

Teachers can also use them as they see fit, aligning with their seminar space content.

Our students are in a space where they are learning more about their own multifaceted identity and we want to support them advocating and reaching their fullest potential.

Ms. O'Meara Focus Beyond Transition Services Grades 9-12
