Major Activities

Activity 2

The Fellows program is an after-school program in which students learn how to develop a business plan, meet with social entrepreneurs and non-profit organizations, and develop their own social action project, or venture, for which they can receive seed funding. For the fiscal year ended 2011, 51 students from 26 partner school graduated from the Fellows program in May 2011. The students pitched 43 ventures to expert panels, and were awarded $4,250 in seed funding.

Activity 3

The Abroad program takes students and teachers to developing countries where the group works in projects of community-based organizations - this gives them the opportunity to meet people who are taking action and shape their environment, learn first hand about development issues - HIV/Aids, education, poverty - and meet peers and experience life in these countries up close. Upon return the students develop an action plan to share their experience with their school community, raise awareness about some of the issues they learned about, and raise funds for the projects they visited. We currently travel to Paraguay, Zambia and Jamaica. For the fiscal year ending 2011 45 students and teachers from 18 schools traveled to Jamaica, Paraguay or Zambia. 60% of participants received financial aid for the trip costs. The student teams developed 13 action plans to raise awareness issues in developing countries and funding for the projects visited in their schools.
