As we ring in the New Year and to finalize this holiday season, don’t forget to support your local nonprofits. We are still accepting support so we can continue to provide programs in schools that support their learning and their lived experiences. So for this New Year, we invite you to contribute to a nonprofit that has been committed to the community since 1963. Donate: bit.ly/403bnMQ

This holiday season, join Inspiring Minds in shaping brighter futures! Our goal is to build a learning environment and educational community dedicated to a culture of care that values every student and their lived experiences. We believe in developing trusted relationships with the community to provide and support the culturally responsive, academic, and socio-emotional needs necessary for student success. We’re strengthening our four programs: In-School Tutoring + Mentoring, Explorers, KidsBridge, and ResilientKids?. In Rhode Island’s classrooms, our volunteers are more than just tutors; they’re mentors, role models, and advocates for change. Together, we’re fostering equity, creating opportunities, and building a more inclusive educational system. Be a part of this movement! Your donation helps create a meaningful impact on the students and communities we serve. Together, we’re changing the narrative and investing in the leaders of tomorrow.
