Mental Health Specialist Supporter
Table for 10
Many of our students carry burdens far beyond their years. Language barriers, economic hardship, family stress, and emotional distress often challenge the children and their families without access to professional support.
Your sponsorship funds a licensed Mental Health Specialist onsite to provide individual counseling, crisis intervention, emotional regulation support, trauma-informed care, and family guidance.
For many students, this is their first and only access to mental health services. When a child’s mind is supported, their ability to learn and succeed increases exponentially.
You are not just sponsoring a position; you are restoring stability, confidence, and hope.

Speech Therapist Supporter
Table for 8
Many of the children we serve come from homes where English is not the primary language, making academic support at home extremely difficult. Students struggle not because they lack intelligence, but because they lack language access.
Your sponsorship provides an on-site Speech Therapist to strengthen language development, improve articulation, support reading comprehension, and build communication confidence.
With early intervention, we help children find their voice both in school and in life.

Preventative Dental Care Supporter
Seats for 6
Many of our students are in urgent need of preventative dental treatment. Routine care is often delayed because families cannot afford services.
Untreated dental issues lead to pain, missed school days, difficulty concentrating, and long-term health complications.
Your sponsorship provides dental screenings, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and early intervention referrals.
Healthy smiles are foundational to confidence, attendance, and overall well-being.

Reading Specialist Supporter
Seats for 4
Reading is the foundation of academic success, yet many students are below grade level due to limited resources and support.
Your sponsorship funds a Reading Specialist who provides one-on-one support, comprehension skill-building, vocabulary development, and testing preparation.
A child who reads confidently unlocks every other opportunity in education.

Healthy Meal Supporter
Seats for 2
For many students, the meal we provide after school is the last meal of their day.
Because we do not have a full kitchen facility on-site, we rely on catered, healthy meal preparation to ensure students receive proper nourishment.
Your sponsorship provides balanced meals, fresh fruit, and protein-based snacks that fuel learning and stability.
A nourished child can focus. A nourished child can thrive.
