I'm raising funds to adopt a classroom of high school students in LA! My goal is to raise $500 and with your help, it can be done! It isn't easy to be a high school student right now, and Adopt A Classroom is a really powerful way to provide social and emotional support to our youth.
PLUS ME is proud to announce the return of ADOPT A CLASSROOM.
Youth are in need of social and emotional support. The Surgeon General has issued an urgent call for a swift and coordinated response to the current youth mental health crisis. We are seeing surging rates of helplessness, depression, and thoughts of suicide among youth. ADOPT A CLASSROOM is an opportunity to offer youth a unique set of tools to recognize and celebrate their strengths, resilience, and inherent value through the creation of their own personal narrative.
PLUS ME will be ADOPTING the classrooms of 5 teachers in LA bringing our motivational 5-hour Storytellers workshop series and My Story Matters Journals to all their classes, nearly 900 students total.
