Review for East Palo Alto Kids Foundation, Palo Alto, CA, USA
I came to teach in East Palo Alto because I was interested in finishing my using my final years teaching before retirement in a place full of difference makers. The challenge is front and center in East Palo Alto and this foundation leverages the support it gives directly at the highest impact level - teachers. I was fortunate as a new teacher to receive an initial grant that allowed me to purchase some electronic devices and consumables and not take that out of my own pocket. Most recently I've been able to join forces with other teachers at my school site and use funds from another grant to bring Jazz in Democracy to campus. This is a program that leverages resources exponentially.
