Our Story
Last year I started an after school program aimed at giving
my students voice and the opportunity to make their school a better place. We
mentored freshman, translated for parents, mediated disputes, and raised school
spirit. Because of the success of my program, school administration has asked
me to teach a college level leadership seminar, allowing my students to improve
their capacity to create positive change.

Our Classroom
My classroom for the past 2 years was an excellent space for
teaching algebra. With personal desks for individual practice and ample room
for the exploration of math, students excelled.

Unfortunately, I will be losing this classroom to a new math
teacher next year, and my ambassadors and I will be housed in a place with far
less amenities and accommodations. This is where you come in.
Our Vision
The transition to this new space will be difficult, but we
have a vision and are willing to work toward it. I hope you can help us gather
the resources necessary to make it a reality.
I see a collaborative and cooperative space where my
students can discuss college level texts on team dynamics and work together to
plan school improvement projects. A conference table and a set of bean bag
chairs would help to facilitate this need.
I see a productive room where my students can learn to
manage both their personal and professional ‘To-Do’ lists, and gain an
understanding of what it means to meet a deadline. I plan to use special whiteboard
paint to transform my walls into a canvas where my students can organize their
projects and their passions
I see a group of students unique in their dispositions but
united in their cause to make their school a better place. They need to be
immediately recognizable for what they are and the work that they are doing. To
this end I need a set of t-shirts to distinguish them; no matter where they go,
people will know they are an Ambassador.
