Measuring IMPACT With Smiles
Lumen WeDoBelieve and Santa Monica School of Innovation have developed a scholarship plan that gives children and youth access to an innovative, impactful, inclusive and fun educational program.
This initiative provides them with the opportunity to be co-creators, innovators, entrepreneurs and analytical thinkers; simultaneously, our students are taught to be respectful, grateful and happy. This holistic education, which aims to help children and youth become great human beings, impacts the community in which they develop, beginning with their household.
By 2022, the goal is to give 20 students with leadership, academic and attitudinal promise, who have low or no resources at all (historically the strongest condition of desertion), the opportunity to be a part of Santa Monica School.
The plan seeks not only to save these students from being left without a high-quality education, but to help families who cannot bear the financial responsibility to help them get ahead. This will directly benefit communities and neighborhoods in need of greater opportunities. In the long-term as well as bigger panorama, it directly influences the future of a nation, yearning for this kind of professional citizen.
