Welcome to the Champions of Change Sponsorship Information page to learn more about how you can transform the lives of low-income, at-risk children and teens. It is difficult to understand the struggles these youth face every day at home and in their communities. They see despair, gangs, drugs and poverty right outside their front door.
They also are still suffering from the impact of the pandemic-related school shutdowns and education disruptions. Arizona State University reports that student scores on the Nation’s Report Card are the lowest they’ve been in decades. The average student is still months behind where they were before the pandemic. In fact, more than 50% of Arizona students failed the most recent standardized tests in reading and/or math.
Without our help, these students are destined to fail in school – or even drop out. We can’t let that happen or the generational cycle of poverty will continue.
As a monthly Champions of Change Sponsor, you will ensure these low-income, at-risk youth get the help they need to succeed in school. Your giving will:
Provide tutoring and homework help
Teach youth a life skills-based reading and workforce readiness curriculum
Conduct reading rallies and other fun activities at school and over the summer to improve their literacy and academic skills
Teach teens to be leaders and peer mentors
Provide youth with daily mentoring and encouragement
Teach workforce preparedness skills to youth starting in Grade 2
Ensure our teacher-mentors are available 24/7/365 to help any youth in distress
Help teens prepare for college, take them on college tours, and help them enroll
Remind children and teens every day that they are cherished and valued…and more!
