Intake verifies each student’s computer and internet access. Students who need equipment may be placed on a support list while resources are raised.
Donate equipmentHelp fund our next phase: $30,000
Our first-phase goal matches our GoFundMe campaign plan: five free virtual classes serving 35–50 young people over 12 weeks. Each class meets for two hours weekly with 7–10 students, an instructor, and an assistant.
We welcome young people from different backgrounds, including those facing barriers to opportunity.

$20,000 · Leadership & student support
Three months of executive direction, student intake, and program coordination.
$5,160 · Live instruction
Instructor and assistant live teaching across five classes, each meeting for 24 hours over 12 weeks.
$4,840 · Delivery allowance
A combined allowance for paid preparation, employer payroll costs, AI subscriptions and usage credits, program internet, virtual meetings, recording and library work, and donation processing.
A first phase with room to grow
These are proposed planning allocations. Technology and other operating costs are still being finalized. We will adjust the pace of expansion to available funds, actual costs, and enrollment. Equipment and student internet assistance may require additional support. This phase does not fund a full year of operations.
If we raise less than our goal, we will prioritize a smaller phase. Additional funds will support further classes and program needs.
Build a reusable learning library
Funds will help us record instruction and review, edit, caption, and organize reusable lessons. With appropriate permissions and privacy protections, instructor demonstrations can support future students. Private student discussions and identifying information will be excluded from the reusable library unless specifically authorized.
