Strengthening Tomorrow: How you can shape the futures of children in underserved communities through the AME project (and get hours!)
Join students from different high schools across LA to learn how you can make a difference in education with The Ame Project – a student-founded, student-run, 501c3-certified nonprofit organization focused on providing free resources and tutoring assistance to underserved K-8 schools. We’re on a mission to bridge the gaps in education while also providing high school students with the opportunity to nurture their passion for learning, lead with integrity, and inspire change and connection. In our session, discover how you can use your skills and talents to make the community you dream of a reality and how we can help you!

Fundraising 101: Basic Guide to fundraising; Maximizing your time and effort
Throughout this presentation, I will delineate various ways to fundraise, providing concrete examples of previous fundraising projects that I have participated in, whether as an ASB officer for my school (e.g., school dances and snack booths), president of clubs in which I fundraised for organizations that I cared deeply about, or advisory board member who contributed to raising awareness of a multi-city fundraiser. Additionally, I will include areas to consider when fundraising and convey specifics about reaching out to local businesses that may offer partnership opportunities. Overall, the presentation will focus on generating fundraising ideas and breaking down the steps to make it less daunting and more doable, encouraging participants to mobilize and maximize their efforts in fundraising.

Using UN SDGs to Meet Local Needs
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals provide a unique framework to address the needs of local, regional, national, and international communities for a better, safer, happier, and more equitable world! We would like to show other schools how we used this global goal setting tool to find out more about our own communities needs and take action toward improving this healthy indicator. For Portola Jr./Sr. High School, that looks like Goal 2: Zero Hunger! CJSF students created a survey, an education campaign, and designed/ supported two community events that address food insecurity in Portola, CA with the help of community partners and teachers.
