Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Help us motivate and inspire our middle school and high school students by funding incentives for their achievements in learning independent living and job skills. Your support will provide meaningful rewards that encourage progress and build confidence in our work lab that supports students with learning challenges. With your contribution, we can provide tangible rewards and snacks that celebrate milestones and encourage progress for students with disabilities as they learn crucial work skills for their future independence. Join us in making a difference and enhancing the lives of middle and high school students as they develop essential skills for their future.
Nearly all 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
