Our teachers are a resourceful bunch: they’re always planning creative and innovative ways to bring learning alive for their students. The majority of Envision students are first-generation students of color who are from low-income communities, and our state funding doesn’t cover nearly enough to give them the education they deserve. Our teachers are responding by coming up with low-cost ideas to provide enrichment that wealthier schools take for granted.

Black Student Union Heritage Tour
Campaign from Ms. Ray’Von and Ms. Walker, Envision Academy in Oakland
Building a Classroom Library, Book by Book
Campaign from Mx. L at City Arts & Technology High School in San Francisco
Mx. L has been building a classroom library for CAT students over the last couple of years, and we’re back to ask for three more great titles: three copies of The Toll, Queer: A Graphic History, and Internment. The whole point of this project is to get as many students as possible reading the books they want to read. Learn more, give and share by clicking here.
A Better Learning Space!
Campaign from Ms. Miranda at Impact Academy in Hayward
Ms. Miranda is creating a welcoming, comfortable space for our Hayward students! “I want the Learning Center (LC) to be a place where students can come to relax and get some work done. The LC is open every day after school, the students have been in hard chairs all day and they want to spread out while they do their homework. We are connected to the library, so I would love for students to grab a book and come to the LC for some quiet time, or to research for a paper. The LC is for everyone!” Your donation will help Ms. Miranda purchase quality, comfortable furniture and create a better learning environment. Learn more, give and share by clicking here.
