This Giving Tuesday, You Can Change a Student’s Future
As you know, all of UPLIFT’s programs — CPM, STEAM Academies, Summer Math Camps, tutoring, mentorship — are completely free for students from underserved communities. To meet the growing demand in Newark and Paterson where we currently serve, your Giving Tuesday contribution is vital. Today, on Giving Tuesday, every dollar helps us open doors for students who deserve every opportunity to thrive.

Without these programs, the students may not have been able to realize their potential and succeed.

I got accepted" at a school of his/her choice.
