My Project
Support the development of meaningful friendships among high school students by donating to our project focused on technology-free engagement! Your contributions will help provide essential resources like journals for self-expression, puzzle books for stimulating teamwork, and snacks to create a welcoming atmosphere during gatherings. We aim to foster connection through games that encourage collaboration and gel pens and stickers that inspire creativity and personalization in shared activities. By donating, you’re not just funding supplies; you’re investing in experiences that promote communication, empathy, and lasting friendships. Join us in creating a supportive environment where students can thrive together without the distraction of screens. Your generosity will help cultivate a vibrant, connected school community! Thank you for helping us make a difference!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
