According to a 2014 Presidential report, "In 1990, the U.S. ranked first in the world in four-year degree attainment; today, we rank 12th. While half of people from high-income families have a bachelor's degree, just 1 in 10 people from low-income families do."
Building on the years of success that C2C has had in local Title 1 elementary schools, our C2C trained coaches help students develop more feelings of self-efficacy in their classroom studies. The collaboration with College Access Corps provides an additional 15 hours of post-secondary-specific coaching.
I was inspired by the writings of 6 of the migrant students who wrote essays competing for a single lap desk - not one per person.
Imagine if each of these students had a lap desk to call their own since 5th grade? It would open up so many possibilities for finding the clean, quiet space and they would know that somebody felt that their homework was important enough to give them a lap desk.
Many of the classrooms we serve do not have essentials such as enough chairs for every student, up to date world maps, enough books on a topic so that 3-4 students don't have to try sharing a single book. Raising $200 per classroom would help fill many of these needs in an attempt to begin leveling the playing field for under-supported schools.
We are trying to improve access to technology to increase interest in STEM and environmental studies and careers for 5th grade students from local Title I elementary schools.
Allowing students access to technology begets a higher level of comfort and familiarity with technology generating a greater interest in related fields.
Purchase a lap desk for one student so they can always have a flat, clean surface available for homework. You will let this student know that somebody believes in the need for their success enough to provide a desk - just for them!!!
Provide 2 desks and give back to DOUBLE your impact for your neighbors in Washington State.
Your donation will go first to funding 5 student lap desks. Once we reach 260 desks we will fund individual classrooms so every student has a chair to sit in and not have to share one classroom book between multiple students. If we fund both of those needs, you will purchase a tablet computer for 1 student in 5th grade classrooms for years to come.
Your donation will go first to funding 10 student lap desks. Once we reach 260 desks we will fund individual classrooms so every student has a chair to sit in and not have to share one classroom book between multiple students. If we fund both of those needs, you will purchase a tablet computer for 2 students in 5th grade classrooms for years to come.
Your donation will go first to funding 20 student lap desks.
