Inner city school children are one of the most at-risk student groups in our school system. They are left vulnerable to negative influences and are at risk of falling behind in school. They lack the mentors, supplies, clothing, and self-esteem necessary to be active learners, capable of overcoming adversity to achieve personal success.
This project pairs 180 vulnerable students with mentors who will help them shop for and purchase two new school outfits and shoes. Each child also leaves with a backpack filled with school supplies.
Total Funding Received to Date: $11,250

"Thank you for the great work Children, Incorporated does for underprivileged children. My shopping buddy, Rakeem was a delight and we had a great time picking out his clothes and shoes together!"
