We are so grateful to KIPP Academy of Lynn for selecting HAWC as a recipient of a $2,500 grant, provided through the Highland Street Youth Philanthropy Initiative. Seventh and eighth grade students Jorge Zapata, Jazzmine Sanderson, Eunice Beato, and Alayna D’Amico presented HAWC leadership with the check in late June.
The Highland Street Youth Philanthropy Initiative (HSYPI) empowers middle, high school, and college-aged youth to collectively choose and fund nonprofit organizations that are addressing the most pressing community and societal needs teaching them about philanthropy, supporting local communities, and how to make effective giving choices.
