My Nonprofit Reviews

"The Orange Duffel Bag Initiative is a beacon of hope and a model of transformative education. With a commitment to supporting students in need, ODBI has impacted over 1800 students with its innovative coaching programs, turning the pages of the inspiring book “My Orange Duffel Bag: A Journey to Radical Change” into a real-life narrative for countless students. Their adaptability in the face of challenges, as seen in their swift transition to virtual platforms in 2020, and their continual expansion to serve broader communities, underscores their unwavering dedication. The 'Team Orange' culture not only focuses on academic achievement but also prioritizes social and emotional growth, ensuring that students are equipped with a holistic foundation for life. I wholeheartedly endorse and applaud ODBI for their tireless work and their vision to empower every student they touch.”
