We continue to evolve each of our programs to the changing school landscape, so that we can continue to fuel kids and ignite learning – just as we’ve done for the last 35 years. 

Because of our commitment to removing barriers and providing opportunities to all K-12 children and youth, our programs are offered free to students.

This is only possible with the support of generous funders. 

We need your help to support K-12 students.

Donate today to help kids in your community.
