Do You Remember When You Were In High School?

Almost nothing felt as important as fitting in with your peers. Having the “right” clothes and school supplies could make all the difference in your level of confidence and self-esteem. 

Perhaps you also can recall how sports and extracurricular activities helped you develop new interests and build  friendships.  Imagine how you might have felt if you were unable to participate in class trips or sports because you could not afford the fees. Imagine being laughed at because you have only two shirts for school. 

The charity operates a “Teen Shop” dedicated to providing teenagers with the supplies they need to start and stay in school.  Schools, shelters, social service agencies and other professionals are able to make a referral for a student to come and shop for needed clothes, shoes, school supplies and sports equipment in a store-like setting.  Children of Promise understands that many disadvantaged youth would rather skip school than tell a friend or peer that they cannot afford school supplies, they cannot afford clothes, or they don’t have the money to join the soccer team.
