  Off The Bench

  Jan 2016 - Sept 2017

  Founder

  MISSION We enthusiastically offer children the ability to participate in whatever extracurricular pursuit they desire without hesitation due to cost or any mobility issues. Children from single parent and lower income households participate less in extracurricular activities, robbing them of the benefits that come with participation. In addition to enhancing academic learning and increasing rate of the student staying in school, there is a multitude of social and practical assets gained. PURPOSEWe aim to bridge the transportation and cost gap for those kids through a volunteer network at the school campus level. Volunteers will assist in transportation to and from practices or meetings and/or donate monetarily to diminish any cost issues that may hinder a child from enjoying extracurricular activities.
