Project Title: New Clothes for Homeless & Low-Income Students
Project Description:

The National Giving Alliance (NGA) provides new clothes to homeless and low-income youth. Students who have new clothes to wear are 70% more likely to attend school. Students who do not have appropriate clothes to wear are 7X more likely to miss school and not graduate high school. Students who do not have clothes that are age-, gender-, or seasonally appropriate, or are not the correct size tend to have 12 additional days absent from school. NGA works with school social workers and guidance counselors to give the students whose families are at or below the poverty line the clothes they need to attend school. We give them a week’s worth of complete outfits, which are coordinated to be mixed and matched that are selected specifically for each student based on their age, grade level, clothing size and gender. Our goal is to give youth dignity with new clothes to allow them to go to school with self-confidence. We are removing one more barrier for them so that they may have an opportunity to succeed in school and life.

The bottom line is that clothing insecurity is an ever-present problem that requires immediate action. Currently, there is not any funding for clothing from the federal, state or local government. We know clothing is a basic necessity. Lack of clothing not only exposes youth to potential health and safety risks, but it also makes them feel excluded, invisible, and undervalued among their peers, hindering their socialization and education. We believe that clothing is a basic human right and that every child is worthy of having clothes that make them feel confident and secure. Kids are facing these challenges every single day, and without adequate support, we risk holding back the full potential of the next generation.

Project Title: New Voices Are Rising
Project Description:

New Voices Are Rising empowers disadvantaged BIPOC youth in the Bay Area to drive environmental justice by bridging the nature gap, engaging in hands on field-based learning labs, and connecting them with their community. Led by BIPOC youth from their communities who understand their challenges, New Voices consists of 1) an intensive 6-week Summer Climate Justice Leadership Academy for 25+ low-income BIPOC high school students aged 14-18 from heavily impacted Bay Area communities and 2) a School-Year Fellowship program for 8+ Academy graduates. During the Summer Academy, youth have a chance to get out into their communities and explore pressing environmental issues through nature-based STEAM driven hands-on outdoor learning labs (50%) in collaboration with local partners complemented by group workshops and discussion (50 %); taking 7 one-day field trips and a 2-day overnight camping trip to local green spaces and wild lands where youth get a chance to leave their day to day lives, unplug from screens, have fun, frolic in nature, and observe wildlife while developing new skills, building meaningful relationships, and having an experience of a lifetime. In the school year, motivated participants continue as Fellows, deepening their engagement through independent projects and externships focused on learning and experiences made in the Summer. Each Fellow meets weekly to share information and work on group efforts. Projects engage community members in impactful activities aimed at improving their local environment, from designing plans for more green infrastructure to addressing air quality and climate change. Externships provide real-world exposure, preparing youth for successful career paths. Your support enables underserved Bay Area youth to access transformative outdoor experiences and leadership opportunities, fostering a more equitable future.

Project Title: Summer Leadership Impact Program
Project Description:

Our Summer Leadership Impact Program is a leadership focused, 6-week summer program. It builds upon our Core Program curriculum through anti-oppression theory and experiential learning workshops to develop the next generation of tSB Peer Leaders, local civic leaders, and advocates alike. Participants will engage in social justice based projects led by organizational partners, receive mentorship from youth leaders in our community, and engage in outdoor activities like rock climbing, surfing, and camping! In 2023, our SLIP youth worked with Black Farmers Collective to design and paint a mural for their greenhouse and participated in an art and design based workshop centered around social justice and public space organized by the Seattle Art Museum. All participants who finish SLIP are automatically considered for a Peer Leader role in next year’s Core Program, allowing them to expand their leadership experience and continue to participate in the tSB community.

Project Title: Academic Success Program
Project Description:

For 85 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Chattahoochee Valley (BGCCV) has been a pillar of support for the youth in the region. Our dedicated and experienced team of staff and volunteers have established strong partnerships with local schools, community organizations, and businesses, which have enhanced our ability to provide comprehensive services in our 3 program focus areas: Academic Success, Leadership & Workforce Development, and Healthy Lifestyles. Our organization has consistently provided a safe and welcoming environment for young people, ensuring the well-being during out-of-school hours for over 2,000 children annually at eight Club locations throughout Columbus, GA. This program seeks to serve all youth ages 5-18 across the Chattahoochee Valley who would benefit from programs that encourage them to thrive amid their circumstances and regardless of their background. While our program is open to youth of all backgrounds, over 93% of our members identify as a minority and over 90% qualify for free and reduced lunch.

BGCCV’s Academic Success program is well-positioned to fill the educational gaps in the Chattahoochee Valley region. The program’s portfolio of research-based and results-oriented programs directly address the educational challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students in our community. For instance, Power Hour provides homework help and tutoring, fostering self-directed learning; DIY STEM engages youth in hands-on, activity-based STEM learning, connecting theoretical concepts to real-life applications; and Summer Brain Gain offers a structured and engaging summer learning experience, countering the learning loss often experienced during extended breaks. The emphasis on critical thinking, 21st-century skills, and social-emotional development equips students not only academically but also for success in their future studies and careers. We provide an inclusive solution to help all youth thrive in an ever-competitive world.

Project Title: The C.H.O.I.C.E.S. Mobile Food Pantry Program
Project Description:

CHOICES addresses the complex and interrelated issues of food insecurity, poor nutrition, obesity, and diabetes through intergenerational and culturally responsive programming. At The C.H.O.I.C.E.S. Community Teaching Kitchen, we use innovative approaches to move disadvantaged children and families from the margins into the center of the healthy eating and living movement. Since 2002, we have promoted food as fun and medicine, believing cooking can be cool and enjoyable! Our primary purpose is to teach children about the importance of eating healthy snacks. Our secondary purpose is to teach families the skills needed to purchase and prepare healthy meals at home. And lastly, we are a community resource to increase accessibility to healthy foods in a dignified manner for underserved neighborhoods.

——–

The C.H.O.I.C.E.S. Mobile Food Pantry program seeks to reduce the impact of food insecurity in Metro Atlanta. This program provides multiple distribution methods to those who cannot afford food. We currently provide one pantry day per month for the general public and an additional pantry day specifically for Seniors. We focus on serving families with low incomes who live in Metro Atlanta food deserts in Fulton, DeKalb, and Gwinnett Counties. These families face socio-economic barriers to accessing and preparing affordable, nutritious meals at home. As an organization ,we primarily serve Black/African-American and Hispanic communities, which disproportionately suffer from food inequity and resulting health disparities. Last year, we provided 1.486 million meals to 24,041 families with our mobile food pantry program. This year, we plan to provide 800,000 meals to 12,000 families and provide literacy education to 3,000 children in partnership with six Atlanta Public Schools.
