#SchoolDaze
During our time working in the Baton Rouge community we noticed a common struggle faced by parents and teachers were having school supplies for their students. So in January of 2017 we set out to invest in twenty students outside of those that we see on a daily basis. We collected supplies the entire month of January and were able to gift 45 students with notebooks, paper, pens, and markers. This supply drive was small compared to what we have planned for August of this year. Stay tuned for more Year of Service events!

We look to inspire the children in our communities on a daily basis. In an effort to keep this inspiration going we are bringing a group of high school students to the African American Culture Center (AACC) on the campus of Louisiana State University. To get the experience of a black college student on the campus of a predominately White institution we put on a program that brings Black organizations from multiple. We were able to bring organizations from ULL,SU,LSU, and surrounding universities to share with the students. The main focus of this program is to show students the broad variety of organizations available to Black college students across the state.

“InLivingColorArts&CraftsDay” This program was created to bring art as a form of expression back into “failing schools”. During this program we buy art supplies for students attending and bring in local artists from surrounding areas to teach them basic concepts of art. We focus on painting, drawing, photography, and digital media and lessons vary based on age group. We have put this program on 4 times since it was created in November 2017.
