Wendy-Anne Roberts-Johnson's Fundraiser
My Appeal
I am so pleased to be a part of the Need in Deed family. Need in Deed fulfills a critical support role to Philadelphia classrooms helping students achieve academically and become civically engaged. The 2020-2021 school year will be especially challenging for teachers and students with all the uncertainty that COVID-19 presents. The Need in Deed team is ready to support classrooms remotely to help them provide the same level of engaging, challenging learning that we would in person.
This year, we are sponsoring the Need in Deed Education Equity run/walk to raise funds to support our work. I have committed to running 50 miles during the campaign period. I invite you to join me by donating what you can. If you are feeling especially engaged, I invite you to register to become a runner/walker with us and raise funds via your network. You can run or walk whatever distance is comfortable for you.
The teachers and students need you to help make this year successful. Please join me in giving.

My Cause
The Mission: The purpose of Need in Deed is to transform the educational experience for students, teachers, and communities by embedding empathy, informed investigation, and civic action within public school classrooms.
About the Organization:
Need in Deed has a vision for equitable public education where students’ concerns, ideas, and lived experiences drive them to be advocates for change. Our unique learning model deepens student engagement, enhances effective teaching strategies, and develops authentic community relationships.
Using Need in Deed’s signature “My VOICE” framework, students in grades 3-8 identify a social issue, engage in research to learn about root causes, and develop action steps in response. Throughout the year-long process, Need in Deed provides teachers with a network of practice and support. Local professionals and practitioners also bring their expertise and wisdom into classrooms, connecting school curriculum with community issues. By engaging students’ curiosity and leadership, our model develops students' academic, social, and emotional skills and prepares youth for lifelong success.
