Help Jessica raise money

This is my 12th year teaching English Language Development (ELD) at Allderdice High School. My students are immigrants and refugees from all over the world. I am excited to connect two of my passions, running and advocating for my students, by running in support of The Alliance for Refugee Youth Support and Education (ARYSE). Many of my students have participated in the After School Club or PRYSE Academy, two excellent ARYSE programs. I am so grateful to the ARYSE team for their continued support and advocacy!

Here's a little more information about ARYSE: 

"ARYSE is now recognized throughout the region as the premiere out-of-school-time resource for immigrant and refugee youth. ARYSE programs currently serve youth in grades 6-12 who reside in Allegheny County, representing over 15 different countries of origin and speak 30+ different languages. In addition to PRYSE Academy, current program offerings include an arts-focused Girls Art and Maker Group, academic and career readiness programs, After School Club and Future Planning Workshops, an advocacy and affinity group, LGBTQ+ Initiative and Queer Youth Space, and a uniquely tailored program to help recently resettled youth from Afghanistan, Empowered Afghan Youth."
