We work in high-need communities, serving low-income students. With your support, Wishbone sends at risk students to after school and summer programs to pursue their interests.
Identify
We identify promising
students and learn
about their passions.
Connect
We connect these students with
our database of out-of-school
programs and assist in finding
the perfect fit for them.
Engage
We engage our community to
fundraise in support of our students'
passions, which students would
otherwise not be able to afford.
Inspire
We share our students’ stories
to inspire other students and
supporters to get involved.
When students are funded, they attend the program of their choice and inspire donors through updates about their experience.
Our students return to the classroom engaged, inspiring their peers with a heightened sense of motivation and a new-found relevance for education.
