My Project

Within my community, there is an afterschool tutoring program at a mobile home park. Students learn both academic and social-emotional skills to prepare them for the future. Resources are often needed to help teach students.

Books are one of the best ways for students to learn vital life skills, such as confidence.

Through funding my DonorsChoose, students will be given the opportunity to learn more about the world around them and connect to people and characters just like them, as well as improve their reading and comprehension abilities.

These books vary in age and content topic, allowing children of all interests to find something to read and enjoy. Thank you for your contribution!

Grades 3-5
