My Appeal
Even though things are a little different this year, our wonderful Need in Deed is raising money through a Virtual Charity Run/Walk! My goal is to walk and or run 40 miles by October 4 for Need in Deed. Help me meet my goal of raising $400 for the wonderful Need in Deed and help us continue to bring quality student centered, social justice oriented, real world education to Philly students! You can donate below and if you want to run or walk with us, let's talk :)

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.
