Spotlight on Educational Equity: A Call to Action for Our Donors In a powerful plea, Steph and Ayesha Curry remind us of the critical importance of sustaining pandemic-era tutoring programs that have made a significant impact on students’ lives. Their message is clear: We cannot afford to let these vital resources fade away just as they are beginning to close the educational gaps that were exacerbated during the pandemic. At Friends of the Children NY, we see the difference that consistent, high-quality mentorship and tutoring make in the lives of our Achievers every day. These programs are not just a temporary fix; they are essential to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background. We invite our generous supporters to join us in this ongoing mission. By investing in our programs, you are investing in the future of New York’s children, ensuring they have the support they need to reach their full potential. Together, we can make sure that the progress we’ve made is not lost, but rather, built upon for years to come.Let’s continue to lift up our Achievers and secure the educational future they deserve.  #EducationEquity #Philanthropy #Mentorship #Tutoring #CommunityImpact #FutureLeaders

Charities like the one I lead have spent years trying to show young people just how fascinating and rewarding STEM subjects can be. Our efforts over a decade and more have changed the prospects of many individual students—but we still have a long way to go to change things for everyone. I have a few ideas on how we can advocate for systemic change together, and they involve making some changes ourselves:  https://lnkd.in/ebaq6Egf

If the spirit moves you, please make a donation to my son’s 4th-grade classroom. Kevin is a newly minted “front-line educator” in the public school system. See link below. Nearly all of us can recall our 4th-grade elementary teacher, who inspired us and created a safe space at school that became our second home. A 4th-grade teacher does so much more than teaching students about the core subjects. In fact, a 4th-grade teacher will tremendously impact a student's well-being and personal development, affecting them for the rest of their lives. Well, in Fall 2024, my son, Mr. (Kevin) Linn, will have the opportunity to make his impact felt when he begins instructing his first 4th-grade class with 26 students at Rosa Parks Elementary School (SFUSD) in the Western Addition neighborhood of San Francisco. Kevin needs some assistance to get his class ready. His first fundraising campaign was a great success and was fully funded by friends and family. Now “Mr. Linn” needs assistance to purchase a large rainbow color-coded carpet from Lakeshore Learning for his students to sit on during their lessons: https://lnkd.in/eM6EsXrk... Rosa Parks Elementary School has more than 50% of students who are Black, Latino, and/or Native American. More than 50% come from low-income households. Schools that educate mostly students of color get $23 billion less funding, and as a result many students enter classrooms that don't have the books, technology, and supplies they need. Teachers still need to spend an average of $500 out of pocket per school year for their classrooms. Therefore, Kevin has launched a DonorsChoose (the #1 nonprofit education funding site for U.S. public school teachers) fundraising page and is seeking assistance to create a comfortable and engaging environment for his students. • DonorsChoose is a United States-based nonprofit organization that allows individuals to donate directly to public school classroom projects. • It has been given Charity Navigator's highest rating every year since 2005. • Your donation is tax-deductible. • DonorsChoose - Wikipedia, https://lnkd.in/eaeA7hSN Donate Here: https://lnkd.in/eN6cCtbv Or You may buy needed supplies through Amazon: Mr. Linn's 4th Grade Classroom Amazon Wishlist: https://lnkd.in/e7jMqiz6...
