Enrichment for underserved kids in Northern VA

This quarter has been a meaningful one for Baroody Project. We kicked off two different campaigns that allowed us to raise funds for more than 100 hours of enrichment activities for children — hours that translate directly into hands-on learning, creative exploration, and moments of growth that many of these kids would not otherwise have access to. Each hour represents an opportunity: a chance to discover a new interest, build confidence, or simply experience the joy of being a kid in an environment designed to nurture them.

In addition, we were able to secure the support of The Little Gym in Arlington, a partnership we are especially proud of. Through this collaboration, we will be offering more than 25 one-month scholarships, giving children access to their programs and activities. This kind of partnership is exactly what we strive to build — local, generous, and rooted in a shared belief that every child deserves the chance to play, move, and learn.

This is what we do at Baroody Project: we open up possibilities. And we do it not only through our own workshops and programs, but by bringing together a growing community of people, businesses, and organizations willing to join the cause. Every campaign we run, every partner we welcome, and every scholarship we fund is a reminder that change happens when we work together. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us this quarter, and we are excited about what is still to come.

During this last quarter, we continued to award scholarships to hundreds of children, ensuring that more young people from underserved communities could access high-quality enrichment programs. 

Our commitment to providing opportunities for all children remains at the heart of everything we do.A key highlight this quarter was the establishment of several new partnerships with local companies and organizations. These collaborations have allowed us to broaden our reach and diversify the types of enrichment experiences we offer—ranging from STEM and arts to sports and wellness. 

By working closely with partners such as Body Dynamics, 11six24, Integrity Martial Arts, and The Little Gym, we are not only expanding access but also building a stronger, more inclusive community for our kids.

We are also grateful for the ongoing support from our donors and the local community, whose generosity directly funds scholarships and helps us bridge the opportunity gap for so many children.

Looking ahead, we are ready to start 2026 with renewed enthusiasm and a clear vision: to double the number of enrichment hours we provide. With a growing network of partners, a dedicated board, and the continued belief of our supporters, we are confident that we can reach even more children and empower them to thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping us provide enrichment to everyone.
