“Rise Up SF” Education Program to Support Children Facing Hardship The goal is to provide educational support for under-supported children in San Francisco to give them confidence and hope, and to help lift them up to better lives. (San Francisco) – Urban Angels SF is proud to launch its educational support program, Rise Up SF, benefitting children from families experiencing homelessness or living at the poverty level in San Francisco. Nearly half of the students in the City are not reading proficient, and 1 in 24 students come from families who do not have a steady, safe, and secure place to live. Phase one of the program is to provide high-impact one-on-one tutoring in reading to 100 K through 4th grade children. “Research shows that it is vitally important that they be reading-proficient by the time they finish 4th grade because if they aren’t, they may never catch up,” says Nelson Barry, Founder and President of Urban Angels SF. “Getting children to read at grade level helps them with comprehension in other subjects, boosts their confidence, reduces absenteeism, and improves emotional behavior in the classroom,” Barry added. Three groups of children are most vulnerable to falling behind in reading; those from homeless families, those from families that are traditionally underserved (black and brown), and those from families where English is a secondary language. The vast majority of children served by UASF meet all three of these criteria! Headquartered in Diamond Heights since 2015, Urban Angels SF relies on 50+ volunteers and caring donors to fulfill its mission of providing frontline aid to San Francisco men, women, and children. “Rise Up SF” is the latest addition to the organization’s mission. The program focuses on providing educational support strategically and effectively. One of Urban Angels SF’s core values is to be agents of change for under-supported children.

Voice of Slum was born out of a dream to uplift and empower children from the slums, a vision held deeply by Chandni Di At just 10 years old, Chandni began her journey while collecting garbage. Despite her difficult circumstances, she always had a passion for helping others. After completing her daily work, she would spend time with slum children, offering them a chance to escape the cycle of poverty through education. This selfless dedication planted the seeds of Voice of Slum. As time passed, Chandni's passion was fueled by the realization that the children she worked with were not only deprived of basic education but also of essential life skills. That’s when she decided to focus not only on academics but on skill-based education. Chandni knew that if these children could acquire skills, they could play a meaningful role in society and break free from the limitations imposed on them by their circumstances. This belief in the power of education to transform lives was the driving force behind Voice of Slum. Today, Voice of Slum stands as a beacon of hope for thousands of children. Every child who walks through the doors of this organization is given the opportunity to dream, learn, and grow. Chandni Di's vision has become a reality, not only in providing education but in empowering these children to take control of their future. . . . #empowering #voiceofslum #changelives #changemaker #positivechange #nonprofit #donatenow . .

📣 We can’t talk about educational equity without decolonizing education. How can a system, historically designed and upheld by white people, be truly inclusive and prioritize the success of all? It cannot. Educational equity is action—creating or eliminating policies, systems, and practices, not providing kids with boxes in order to help them see a baseball game. This inaccurate image fosters deficit-model thinking and oversimplification of the systemic barriers certain students face due to institutional structures. Decolonizing education entails rebuilding a school system that serves the needs of all students, staff, and educators, tailored to each child's unique requirements. Every individual deserves an equitable opportunity and a quality education, regardless of ethnicity, location, or income. Without fundamental changes to our education system, success for every student will remain elusive. #educationalequity #qualityeducation #nonprofit #youthadvocacy

Word Made Flesh International is dedicated to the flourishing of youth in vulnerable neighborhoods. We start by creating a safe space for the kids where we offer healthy meals, healthy relationships, access to therapy, and the possibility to play. Once a safe space is established, we see children capable of learning. Our Community Centers are designed to support the youth's learning by addressing their financial and social challenges such as helping them cover school fees, acquire school supplies, uniforms, and books, providing after school tutoring, and one-on-one educational support. Why is education so important in the prevention of further vulnerability and exploitation of kids in impoverished communities? Education is a powerful tool in breaking the cycle of poverty. By providing children with the skills needed for jobs, education offers increased opportunities for families and reduces the economic pressures that often lead to exploitation. Education leads to major impact in the lives of youth, and so we need to continue to empower them to realize their dreams and potential.   Educational support doesn't stop at the end of the school year. We continue to provide alternative education throughout the summer break through daily activities at the community centers and summer camps. Please consider donating to support the ongoing educational support for these aspiring young leaders throughout the year! #WordMadeFlesh #educationimpacts

Addressing Literacy Challenges: One Student's Inspiring Initiative 📚 The pandemic has left a lasting impact on student literacy rates. Two Las Vegas high schoolers, Celine Chang and Rohitha Baskaran, are taking matters into their own hands. They founded ReadUp Youth: A nonprofit dedicated to improving literacy rates among underserved students. Their first project? A book drive that collected over 1,200 books for students in Title I schools. Their mission? "To offer these kids an opportunity to have books in their homes so that they can read, and then they can improve their literacy rates, because being able to read opens the doors to so many opportunities." But they're not stopping there. They're developing an AI-powered app to make reading more engaging and track student progress. They're also taking a stand against book bans that limit access to diverse perspectives. This is a powerful reminder that even young people can make a big difference. How is your organization working to address educational inequities? If you share your story with us we may highlight your nonprofit cause in our next post! #Nonprofit #Education #Literacy #YouthEmpowerment #ReadUpYouth #SocialImpact

📚 Did you know that recently released federal data suggests as many as 4 million college students may be experiencing food insecurity, with 1.5 million facing homelessness? Basic needs insecurity is a critical issue affecting student success: Students experiencing food insecurity are over 40% less likely to graduate. More than one-third of Black undergraduate students report food insecurity, compared to 18% of white students. Nearly one-quarter of community college students face food insecurity, higher than at public and private non-profit four-year institutions. At Lewte, we are dedicated to helping students pursue higher education and tackling the issues that hinder their path to knowledge. By addressing these disparities, we can promote equity and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed. #HigherEd #StudentSuccess #FoodInsecurity #EquityInEducation #Lewte #College
