Classroom Stories

 
 

Martin - COLESIUM COLLEGE PREP Academy

"Programs like YouthBeat should be in every school! It teaches you how to work together and be social," says Martin, a middle school student at CCPA.

Ana - Edna Brewer Middle School

In today’s Give to Grow feature, we’re sharing Ana’s story, a student in our Afterschool Film Club at Edna Brewer Middle School. For Ana, this program has been more than just a class—it’s where she’s made lasting friendships.

Onicka - MetWest High School

Meet Anika, who learned the power of teamwork through our Future Filmmakers Program. She’s thriving, and it’s all thanks to supporters like you.

I love coming into the classroom and being able to play with the playdough and toys to make really cool movies.
