MATCH UP

📦 Packed with Purpose:
MATCH UP Supports Back-to-School Success

Youth Promise Collective and MATCH UP were delighted to work with CASA on a new campaign to get school supplies to students in Prince William County for the new school year.

Especially in the current political climate, students who are children of migrants may not be able move about in their communities as safely to obtain these resources. Furthermore, organizations like CASA have lost their ability to extensively support students. Despite this difficulty, there was still a determination to help. Working with CASA, we assembled backpacks full of notebooks, binders, and stationary for 5th grade students to help get them organized (and excited) for the new year. The backpacks will be distributed to families that work with CASA.

By providing students with these resources that they might not have had access to otherwise, we hope to help them achieve their academic goals, as well as empower them to strive for their goals as the shapers of tomorrow. Here’s to a great school year ahead!
