Our Crowdfunding Groups
Location: New York, New York
Issue Area: Education
With a population of just over 19 million, 14.2% of New Yorkers have lived below the poverty line since 2009.
Our Project Serve team will work with Shiloh Ministries, a nonprofit Christian organization dedicated to equipping at-risk youth with the tools to build hope. The team members on our team will teach, mentor, and befriend the youth to promote their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. We will be able to partner with a public school in the South Bronx to work with children and support teachers throughout the school week. Not only will we get to impact the students, we are also looking forward to encouraging the teachers who are often over-worked, under-paid and under-appreciated. Lodging is taken care of through Shiloh’s partnership with the Manhattan Church of Christ.
We hope we can have an impact on the students there, but we know that they will have a deep impact on us. Please support us any way you can as we get ready to serve these students.
