Strong Girls, Strong Minds: After-School Snack Support

Help me give my students healthy snacks during our after-school girls’ empowerment club. A light boost—granola bars, fruit cups, crackers, or juice—helps them stay energized, focused, and ready to build confidence, leadership, and community.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Garcia's classroom raised $448

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

I love my students because they bring energy, creativity, and determination to our after-school girls’ empowerment club. Each girl shows up eager to learn, support her peers, and grow into her best self.

What makes our club special is the focus on building confidence, leadership, and a strong sense of community in a safe, supportive space.

Because our school is a Title I school, many of my students face challenges, and hunger is one of the biggest barriers they experience. Providing snacks helps them recharge, focus, and fully engage. Our goals are to ensure every girl leaves feeling empowered, supported, and ready to lead, while giving them the energy and resources they need to thrive.
