Help Revolutionize Education in Ottawa

Hey there wonderful supporter!

Welcome to our little corner of the crowdfunding universe, where we're on a mission to shake up the education system and make a real difference in the lives of students who are often misunderstood and underserved. At The Dandelion Cafe and Student Achievement Centre, we believe in creating a future where every student has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background or learning challenges.

Our Goal:

We're on a quest to raise $60,000, just enough to pay The Dandelion Cafe and Student Achievement Centre’s rent for the next 12 months. With 1 million residents in Ottawa, we're confident that we can find 60 generous people to donate $1000 each, and we can meet our target and continue our vital work.

About Us:

We're Terri and Jennifer, two caffeine-fueled dreamers who've made it our life's mission to provide an alternative education oasis for students who don't fit the traditional school mold. Think of us as the rebels with a cause, fighting for every kid's right to learn and grow in an environment that celebrates their uniqueness.

Why It Matters:

Picture this: a world where students are free to explore their passions, learn at their own pace, and actually enjoy coming to school. That's the world we're building. We believe that education should be free for everyone, regardless if you attend public school or not, but unfortunately, that’s not the way it works in Canada. Your support means families pay less for our services, and we can spend less time stressing about bills and more time doing what we love – helping our awesome students lay the foundation for the life of their dreams!

Unique Approach:

At The Dandelion Cafe, we're all about letting students take the wheel. What sets us apart is our commitment to 100% student-led learning. Students have control over their education, from subjects to activities, creating an empowering environment where they can thrive. Additionally, we place a strong emphasis on building independent living and career skills for our students with disabilities, believing in their ability to work and live independently. Our students are the masters of their own destinies!

Terri and Jen
