Project Title: Earth Voices
Project Description:

Earth Guardians Earth Voices (EV) education and action initiative empowers BIPOC students ages 8–18 from underserved communities to lead in the climate/environmental justice movement. In 2024, the inaugural program engaged over 1,400 students across eight events in cities like New York, Denver, and Chicago. Through keynotes, interactive workshops, and ongoing mentorship, students gained skills to address climate change, amplify marginalized voices, and create community-driven environmental solutions.

This program is urgently needed as climate change disproportionately impacts underserved BIPOC communities, exacerbating systemic inequities. Gen Z reports high levels of climate anxiety and disconnection from nature, compounded by limited access to climate education. Earth Voices addresses these challenges by equipping youth with tools, mentorship, and actionable pathways to turn their despair into climate action.

In 2025, EV will engage 14 schools in major metropolitan areas including New York, Baltimore, Phoenix, Denver, Chicago, San Diego. Each 2-3 hour event will feature EG’s professional youth speakers delivering a keynote and slideshow on what it means to get engaged in environmental justice leadership and community engagement, followed by a hands-on interactive workshop on strategic grassroots environmental organizing. Activities include brainstorming community-specific projects, identifying stakeholders, and creating action plans for initiatives like community gardens, waste reduction, and waterway cleanups.

After events, students are guided in forming EG Crews—youth-led groups focused on local environmental solutions. As our central program, Crews receive ongoing mentorship, training, virtual master classes, project grants, and access to EG’s global network of 101 active Crews to collaborate with and learn from peers across the globe. By the end of 2025, Earth Voices aims to establish 10 new school Crews and mobilize 800 additional youth to lead local environmental justice projects in their communities.

Earth Voices exemplifies EG’s commitment to centering youth agency, amplifying youth leadership, and advancing environmental justice.

Project Title: Caribbean Roots, American Dreams: A Museum Experience for 500 Children
Project Description:

Island SPACE Caribbean Museum seeks funding to provide 500 children, ages 4-18, with an enriching, educational experience at our cultural institution over the next year. While Broward County Public Schools facilitates field trips for some students, budget constraints have left many children—particularly those in micro-schools and homeschooling communities—without the opportunity to visit. This grant would allow us to bridge that gap, ensuring that more young learners, from elementary through high school, can explore the vibrant history and contributions of Caribbean people in an engaging, interactive setting.

At Island SPACE, students embark on an immersive journey through history, learning about influential figures, artistic traditions, and pivotal events that have shaped the Caribbean and influenced the evolution of the United States. Visits include guided tours, hands-on activities like scavenger hunts, and creative workshops where students craft their own take-home items inspired by Caribbean culture. By engaging with the exhibits, children gain a deeper appreciation for their own heritage or the diverse cultures within their community.

With 1 in 4 South Florida residents tracing their roots to the Caribbean, this initiative fosters a sense of belonging and pride, particularly among children who rarely see their family’s history recognized in mainstream education. The requested funding would fully underwrite admission fees for 500 students at $20 each, ensuring accessibility regardless of financial barriers. Chaperones would be admitted at no cost. Additionally, Island SPACE would seek matching resources to promote this program and coordinate visits for those with demonstrated need.

By supporting this initiative, the Hermanowski Family Foundation will help us inspire the next generation, enriching their understanding of history, heritage, and achievement. These experiences leave a lasting impact, empowering children to take pride in their roots and see themselves as part of a larger, meaningful narrative.

Project Title: Early Connections’ Early Care and Education Program
Project Description:

Established in 1897, Early Connections Learning Centers is Colorado’s oldest nonprofit early care and learning organization. Our mission is to provide high quality, comprehensive early care and education for ALL children. Our “whole child" approach to early care and education incorporates a proven curriculum, family engagement and support, nutritious meals, behavioral health, and health and safety consultation and training for children and teachers, because ALL children deserve access to the best start in life, regardless of their family’s income level. Serving approximately 300 children daily, we operate three full-day, full-year centers for ages birth to five years and before and after care and summer programming for school-aged children.

Our early care and education program benefits two generations of families. For all children, the first five years are critical to their school and life success. Many lower-income children enter kindergarten significantly behind their wealthier peers. Our early care and education program focuses on school readiness, helping young children develop the skills and attributes they need to enter school prepared to learn and succeed. For low-income parents, we provide reliable, affordable, high quality child care. This is a crucial need for working parents. In El Paso County, high quality child care can cost nearly 50% of a single parent’s income, forcing them to base their child care decisions on affordability rather than on quality. Access to dependable, affordable child care enables parents to work or continue their education, fostering self-sufficiency and economic stability.

We measure our success using Teaching Strategies GOLD, a Colorado Department of Education-approved school readiness assessment that evaluates developmental domains critical for school success. Our goal is for all children to demonstrate progress and growth throughout the year and for 90% of our children to meet or exceed “widely-held expectations” for their age.

Project Title: MHC Student Health Career Explorers program
Project Description:

Since 1920 the Massachusetts Health Council (MHC) has successfully convened stakeholders, educated the public, and advocated for a myriad of issues to protect and improve the health and welfare of children, including seat belt legislation, clean air, vitamin fortification in food, the pasteurization of milk, water fluoridation, vaccinations, anti-smoking and youth vaping, mental health, school lunch nutrition, and more. Our mission is to promote policies and programs that enable healthier lifestyles, wellness, and preventative care so all people and their communities can thrive.

According to reports, there will be a shortage of 100,000 critical healthcare workers in Massachusetts by 2028. MHC is committed to building a diverse pipeline that fosters the next generation of healthcare workers who represent and reflect the communities in which they live. This is why we respectfully request your support to help expand our Student Health Career Explorers program in Summer 2025 to reach more students.

This program introduces and immerses middle school and high school students – particularly those from underserved and underrepresented communities – to a variety of healthcare jobs so they can see what is possible. By increasing familiarity, confidence, and access to fields like occupational therapy, paramedical, neuroscience, EMT, and pharmacology, our Student Health Career Explorers program not only educates youth on potential future career options but allows them hands-on experience to practice stepping into those roles.

We partner with professors and medical providers at Western New England University, College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and Quinsigamond Community College to deliver this program to students at John J. Duggan Middle School and Southbridge High School. Our goal is to conduct further outreach and offer this program to one new school to reach, educate, and deliver guidance and training to at least 60 children in 2025. We thank you for your consideration.

Project Title: Helping At-Risk High School Students in Palm Beach County Earn Their Diploma
Project Description:

Quantum and Worthington High Schools are nonprofit charter sister high schools in the Second Mile Education network. The schools utilize Second Mile Education’s proven model to deliver innovative programming and curricula designed for at-risk students. While research demonstrates that high-need, high-risk students benefit from a comprehensive instructional approach to meet their needs and provide support for sustained success, traditional education approaches don’t have the bandwidth to provide these resources. With one student abandoning high school altogether every 26 seconds, the need for a transformational approach for at-risk students is clear. It is with these students in mind that Quantum and Worthington High Schools respectfully request $10,000 from the Hermanowski Foundation to ensure high school graduation for all students in Palm Beach County.

At orientation, each student receives a customized plan that includes traditional classes, personal and social support services such as family support and career guidance, and flexibility. Multiple tracks are offered with classes are available from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each weekday, allowing students the time for not only school, but also family and work obligations. Student progress is monitored and presented via the Success Dashboard, offering feedback, coursework status, attendance records, grades, and credits earned. To facilitate full personalization, programming is computer-based but teacher-directed, allowing students to work at their own pace and receive assistance from teachers when needed. For students with external challenges, the schools employ on-site Family Support Specialists who work closely with teachers, counselors, and community resources ensuring students have the support needed to graduate. Career Coaches provide additional instructional time focused on employability, career and college readiness, and postsecondary options, and Career and Technical Education provides role-specific training and certification designed around in-demand jobs. Each year, these schools serve more than 700 students and help more than 250 to graduate.
