Project Plan
We decided to focus on projects this school year. We wanted to help our school community, but also the girl community outside of our school gates. With the funding received from LA Promise Fund/Girls Build LA we were able to implement the 3 projects we wanted.
The Wooden ClosetA closet of clothes that has been donated to be offered to any student at our school, if they ever are in need. You never know what someone can be going through, and we wanted there to be a place where students could pick up clothing and any basic essentials if they are in need. Students do not like opening up about whats going on in their personal or family life, and we hope that they feel comfortable enough to come to our closet and grab some items!

Feme KitsA little goodie bag for any girl who may be menstruating that will surely make them smile. Younger girls don't really know what to do when they get their period for their first time, and a lot of times it happens at school. We created these kits to donate to our local middle school and fellow continuation schools. The items included are feminine hygiene products, an empowerment sticker, and a little sweet treat for the moods! :)

Girl Restroom UpgradeOur school restrooms did not have any feminine product disposal bins in the individual stalls, and there were also no pad/tampon dispenser in any of the restrooms in our school. Our group got together and we individually wrote a letter to our principal to get these essentials installed by the school district!
