What your gift pays for

Every gift helps support student learning, instructional materials, meals, and program operations: a table, a passage, a pencil, and a teacher with time to work alongside a child on something slightly harder than what they can already do.

Saturday Lab limits enrollment to 12 students, creating opportunities for guided instruction, student discussion, and individualized feedback.
