Many of the students we serve face barriers including limited access to tutoring, inadequate digital resources, and unstable learning environments, placing them at risk of falling behind academically.<\/p>\n<p>This program provides structured after-school support through a combination of individualized tutoring, small-group instruction, and academic enrichment focused on literacy, numeracy, and core subject mastery. To address the digital divide, participants receive access to essential learning materials and technology that support consistent engagement and academic progress.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to academic support, the program integrates life skills development, equipping youth with critical competencies such as goal setting, time management, communication, and problem-solving. This dual-focus approach strengthens both academic performance and personal development, preparing students for long-term success.<\/p>\n<p>The program also incorporates family engagement to reinforce learning at home and improve student accountability, as well as transportation support to ensure equitable access and consistent participation.<\/p>\n<p>Expected outcomes include measurable improvements in academic performance, increased school attendance, and enhanced student confidence and engagement. By strengthening both educational and life skills foundations, the program positions youth to successfully transition into higher education, vocational pathways, and productive, independent adulthood.<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: 32000<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): Potential funding sources include the Costco, The Coca-Cola Foundation, Journey For Good Foundation, and Atlantic Union Bank, with no committed funding secured at this time.<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: 1 year (August 2026 &#8211; August 2027)<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Raleigh and Franklinton, NC<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 10-18<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mrs.<br \/>\nContact First Name: Fatimah<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Muhammad<br \/>\nContact Title: Executive Director<br \/>\nContact Phone: 803-210-7546<br \/>\nContact Email: fatimah@lifeskillzinc.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: 1626 Life Skillz Inc Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: Mailing Address: 53 Mann St City: Franklinton State: NC Postal Code: 27525 Main Phone: 803-210-7546 Main Fax: Organization Website: https:\/\/lifeskillzinc.com\/ Employer ID Number: 92-2618490 Organization Tax Status: 501(c)(3) Proposal Information Today&#8217;s Date: 04\/29\/2026 Requested Amount: 8000 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10740"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10740\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10741,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10740\/revisions\/10741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
