As an educator, I think it's critical we raise awareness about inequities that still exist in access to quality education. In 2023, a child's zip code should not determine the resources and opportunities available at their school. Organizations like Early Steps work specifically to promote equity by empowering parents of color to navigate the independent school admissions process. When Early Steps helps students gain acceptance at independent schools in NYC, it opens up an immense set of opportunities - not just academic rigor, but exposure to people, ideas, and experiences that inspire big dreams and pathways to achieve them. This kind of access should be available to all students, regardless of background. Consider learning more and sharing this resource with parents of color with young ones who are looking for educational opportunities.
When Early Steps helps a child of color in #NYC gain acceptance into an independent school, it opens a whole world of opportunity. Not only a rigorous academic environment, but exposure to people, ideas and experiences that inspire big dreams and create real paths to achieve them. This #GivingTuesday, let’s keep opening doors together: www.earlysteps.org/donate.

Improve education, improve the world! 🌎 In the USA, the attendance of high school students in public schools dropped by 3% during the 2020-21 academic year compared to 2019-20. E.R.E works with students who have been nominated because of their dedication to learn and determination to succeed. All they lack is equitable access to learning support.

“The Awards came at the right time for us in so many ways. We remained open throughout the pandemic, with vulnerable young people coming into the centre every day when schools were closed. These sessions ensured we remained focused on the future as well as the very challenging circumstances we were operating in.” Eagle's Nest Project is a charity that works with young people aged 11-18 that are struggling to engage in mainstream education. It offers alternative education solutions that build confidence and self-esteem, re-igniting a belief that educational success can be achieved, and teaching them to better regulate their emotions to equip them for more positive engagement in education and society moving forwards. After winning the Weston Charity Awards in June 2020, it’s fair to say that Eagle’s Nest Project is in a different place and going from strength to strength. Read it’s incredible journey here: https://buff.ly/3tJ0BO1 Find out more about the awards here: https://buff.ly/3ZdjXqf #Charity #SocialEnterprise #Impact #Leadership #10YearsOfImpact

Meet Sanya & Ruhi They are high #aspirent They want to #smile They want to #dream They want to #study 🌟 Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders: A Call to Support Education for Underprivileged Children 📚 In a world brimming with opportunities, it's heartbreaking to witness countless children deprived of the chance to pursue their dreams simply because they lack access to education. At [Your NGO's Name], we believe that education is the cornerstone of a brighter future, yet for many, it remains an elusive dream. Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive. Yet, the harsh reality is that millions of children around the globe are denied this fundamental right. They face barriers such as poverty, conflict, and discrimination, which hinder their access to education and perpetuate a cycle of disadvantage. Our mission goes beyond just providing textbooks and classrooms; it's about instilling hope, igniting passions, and nurturing potential. Through our various programs and initiatives, we strive to create a supportive environment where every child feels valued, empowered, and equipped to reach for the stars. 🌟 But we cannot do it alone. We need your support to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these children. Your contributions, whether big or small, have the power to change lives and shape destinies. Together, we can rewrite the narrative for these children – from one of despair to one of hope, from limitations to boundless possibilities. 🌈 Imagine the impact we can make together – a world where every child, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to fulfill their potential and become the leaders of tomorrow. It's not just about charity; it's about justice, equality, and the fundamental belief that every child deserves a fair chance at a brighter future. 🌍 Join us in our mission to empower tomorrow's leaders. Together, let's build a world where every child's dreams are within reach. Together, let's make a difference that lasts a lifetime. 💫 #NGO #Nonprofit #SocialImpact #Charity #Philanthropy #CommunityService #Volunteer #Humanitarian #GlobalDevelopment #SocialGood #donate #happiness

Into The Weekend Trivia Six(6) of our girls in Grade 5 were asked the simple but revealing question "who is the most beautiful girl in the class?" Surprisingly unsurprisingly, 4 out of the 6 - representing almost 70% voted themselves. Isn't this telling of how self-confident our girls are? It is proven that "children with high self-esteem and confidence are more likely to be successful in school, social relationships and future careers. It helps them to stand up for themselves when necessary, take risks, learn from mistakes and develop resilience in the face of adversity". Enjoy your weekend.
