Project Title: Supporting Hallie Q. Brown\u2019s Teen Education Center
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
This project will support HQB\u2019s Teen Education Center Program. This program provides a safe space for middle school and high aged students to study, do schoolwork, receive tutoring in reading\/writing, mathematics, and research skills, as well as receive free school supplies. Our center is furnished to provide a space that promotes focus, calm, and room for both individual and collaborative work, depending on participant needs. This program is designed to not only support participants\u2019 academic success, but to provide them with access to HQB\u2019s wraparound services through our Basic Needs Program (which offers a Food Shelf, Clothing Shelf, and Community Support Navigator). <\/p>\n
We are requesting $7,000 to purchase 15 Dell Inspiron laptops for students to use at our center. These laptops have been chosen at the recommendation of our partners at other educational programs as being both affordable and useful for studying and collaborative work between students. However, we also wish to provide Educational Center program participants with laptops to use because of the demographics area from which they come. Students we serve come from two neighborhoods in Saint Paul: Frogtown\/Thomas-Dale and Summit-University. Residents of these neighborhoods identify as, respectively, 73.3% and 48.5% BIPOC, while 55.2% and 35.5% of residents respectively report receiving an annual income below 199% of the federal poverty line. These demographics prompted us to seek funding for educational technology at our drop-in center for two reasons. One, the prevalence of families in our service area struggling to make ends meet would make purchasing educational technology an undue burden for many of our participants. Two, BIPOC students are particularly likely to be negatively impacted by the academic achievement gap, and providing such students with tools, support, and space during their schoolyears is (according to the National Conference of State Legislatures) is crucial to closing this gap. <\/p>\n
