Spring 2022
Finishing out the school year in person
This year, Seattle CARES successfully transitioned to in-person Rising sessions in both Meany and Denny International middle schools. It’s been wonderful to see -- once again -- the personal interaction between our mentors, Seattle CARES staff and teachers as they prepare our young scholars to succeed in school and in life.
This winter, we inaugurated a monthly lecture series called Voices for Change, where award-winning speakers joined us virtually to discuss topics ranging from financial planning to the history of Seattle’s Black Panthers. We wrapped up our first full year of The Rising for Girls, and our students were engaged in both a super heroes project and The Why lesson, among other activities. We're pleased to report that 20 mentors were recruited at our booth at Seattle Center in June. Read on to learn more.
Not long ago, we celebrated Juneteenth. That day recognizes our quest for true freedom and equality, and acknowledges how far we still have to go. Help us contribute to change through acts of service and reflection. Join us as a mentor, volunteer or donor. Visit our website for more information.
Our best wishes for a healthy and safe summer.
