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 Students

My students are 18-21 year olds in an amazing 12th grade setting! Our school provides transition opportunities including life skills, job training, and college skills. We are located on the Northwest side of Chicago and my students love learning and experiencing new things, especially when they feel it is a unique experience to our room.

Building responsibility and confidence makes a huge difference for my students.

We have a wide range of interests, experience levels, and post graduate paths our students have planned. My goal is to provide instruction that prepares students for many of the challenges they will face as adults.

Including students in social-emotional skill building, cooperation, gaming, shopping, and community based instruction is essential to their future successes.

My Project

Our students work to develop a variety of life skills during their time at our school. Having a washer available would provide a variety of opportunities to develop life and job skills while on campus. The COMFEE' portable washing machine will allow us to use a variety of cleaning supplies that are sustainable.

This washing machine will provide skills that refine fine motor skills and establish routines for basic post-graduation needs.

The washing machine would also be available if there were any temporary living situation emergencies, where students have limited access to reliable laundry services.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
