Students who used to sit on the edges of the room now pull their chairs into the circle. During one of our first projects, members worked together to create affirmation posters and identity collages to display during our campus kindness week. The creativity was powerful, but even more meaningful were the conversations happening naturally while they worked—students sharing stories, finding common ground, and encouraging one another.\r\n\r\nWe are using these resources every week to build connection and leadership. Craft projects have become structured opportunities for dialogue, team-building, and collaborative planning for school-wide awareness activities. Because the space feels more comfortable and intentionally designed for belonging, students are more willing to participate and take positive risks. The materials have turned our meetings into hands-on, student-driven experiences rather than just discussions.\r\n\r\nNext, our students are planning a community-building campaign that includes student-designed visuals and peer-led activities focused on kindness and inclusion. They are brainstorming ways to use their creative work to spark conversations across campus and make more students feel welcome. Thanks to your generosity, our GSA is not just a club—it is becoming a student-led movement for connection and acceptance throughout our school.","fullyFundedDate":1769188999412,"projectUrl":"project/creating-creating-inclusive-communities/10032074/","projectTitle":"Creating Creating, Inclusive Communities","teacherDisplayName":"Mx.
