DISCO Supply Drive

In response to the impact of COVID-19, Disco is an Olympic themed, team-based virtual experience created for students in grades 3-5 to engage in fun and interactive activities while at-home. Our goal is to beat isolation in the virtual education space and provide a safe space for students.

During these sessions, students will have the opportunity to do educational activities, connect with fellow classmates, and create a space of team comradery and creativity. The supplies are essential as they allow our students to complete the weekly activities and broaden their knowledge around important themes such as math, financial literacy, STEAM, history, and other focus areas. Traditionally, this program is known as Discovery when in-person.

Spread Kindness, Not the Virus

Looking for a way to let your neighbors know you can help, if they need you? We’ve put together some “Kindness Cards” to help you spread kindness during the pandemic by reaching out and offering support to friends and neighbors.

These are especially helpful if you know any older or isolated individuals. You can make them feel supported, safe, and less lonely during self-quarantine by offering support via our “Kindness Cards”.

How it Works

Print Cards

1. Download greeting card template

2. Fill out with your information

3. Send to neighbors or friends by mail, dropping off, or via email

Digital Cards

1. Download the social media card (it’s like a photo)

2. Post it on your favorite social platform (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.)

3. Write a brief explanation of how/why you’re offering help and include contact details - “Send me a private or direct message” or “Comment on this post with how I can help”

Help students with their Scholarship Research Process

The Scholarship Academy (TSA), is a nonprofit founded by a recipient of over $200,000 in scholarships, teaches low- income and first-generation high school students how to create realistic college funding strategies.

Through in-school curriculum modules, financial aid counselor trainings, and access to an innovative scholarship planning platform, The Virtual Scholarship Center, we connect students to local/state-based scholarship resources that enable them to pursue debt-free degrees.

How it Works

1. Students sign up for virtual office hours via their virtual scholarship center account

2. Based on availability and interest, volunteers (you) will help students:

   • Understand their Financial Award Letter

   • Identify additional private aid

   • Re-negotiate their financial aid packages

   • Edit scholarship essays
