We can transform the lives of individual kids and create a civic culture where everyone takes more responsibility for one another and the community as a whole. But we truly need your help. We need:
- Foster parents for our Foster Care program
- Volunteer tutor-mentors , substitute tutors, and site coordinators in DC and Baltimore for Project Northstar
- Social work staff for our Foster Care and Independent Living programs
- Interns and Civic Leadership Fellows (see our website for details)
- Sponsors for Northstar, foster care and TMI to help support our work
It costs us nearly $1,000 per year per student (typical for the field) to support the Northstar (and much more for foster care). Your support helps cover volunteer coordination, training & regular check-ins, criminal background checks, reading and math assessments 3 times a year, individualized learning plans, coordinating mentoring activities & holiday events, working with parents and students who are having difficulties or who have special needs, working with local food organizations to get students healthy meals at evening tutoring sessions, and recruiting new volunteers and students.
