Help East Side Students Experience Portugal’s Art & Culture!

Help Our Students Experience a Life-Changing Journey!

All donations are 100% tax-deductible and eligible for matching!

Who We Are:

We’re teachers at East Side Community High School in NYC’s Lower East Side, supporting students from hardworking, low-income families. For 16 years, we’ve run a transformative travel program, taking over 200 students abroad. Many have gone on to study and explore the world on their own thanks to this experience.

Our Goal:

In April, we’re taking 25 high school students on an art history tour through Portugal. They’ll explore iconic sites and immerse themselves in history, art, and culture. This journey offers a unique opportunity for our students to see the world, often beyond their families’ financial reach.

Student Fundraising Efforts:

Our students are determined to make this dream a reality. They’re working hard through bake sales, after-school jobs, and more. Their commitment is inspiring—one student walked eight miles daily to her job, determined to fund her dream of visiting Paris.

Your Impact:

Your donation will go directly to scholarships, helping these students reach their fundraising goals and covering essential costs for travel, lodging, and meals. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference!

Thank You for Making This Possible!
