Founder & President
Hey, I'm Lucy! I'm a high school student who founded this organization to fight educational poverty in our local, low-resource communities. I want to show children that they can be successful, regardless of their demographic backgrounds. I am a firm believer that education is a basic human right, and that nothing should ever be able to get in the way of learning. Through this project, I hope to make education more easily attainable for young students across the US by providing them with the basic learning necessities they deserve.

Leader of the Tampa Chapter
Hi! My name is Emma! I know that to have an education is both a blessing and a privilege, but it should also be accessible. We live in a world that values knowledge, which is great, but the world doesn’t exactly make it easy on everyone. No student should feel tied down because of something out of their control, like money. I hope that our project will assist young students in their learning and ensure that they won’t be hindered by circumstance.

Leader of the Birmingham Chapter
My name is Jasmine Zhang. Lucy, Emma, and I all share similar personal experiences and stories as our parents grew up in poverty, which impacted their education. Because of this, I am devoted to taking action for children struggling to obtain a level of education because of money restrictions. I want to provide children with school supplies in order to boost and aid their education. I truly believe that money should not be an obstacle when it comes to receiving an education.
