Support Ethan's Journey to Travel Team, Model United Nations

Donation protected
For the past two summers, 15-year-old Ethan Zimmer co-ran a lawn care business with his twin brother and completed over 150 jobs in their neighborhood to earn $4,000 for a summer leadership program at Boston University.

There, Ethan participated in two intensive Model United Nations academies, earning both an Honorable Mention and Verbal Commendation for his performance. Based on his results, he was invited to join the All-American Model UN travel team — one of the most competitive and prestigious high school teams in the world.

Back in 8th grade, Ethan was our town spelling bee champion and went on to place #2 in the entire state of Connecticut. That same drive shows up in everything he does — from academics to diplomacy to mowing lawns.

Now, he’s working toward his next goal: raising $ to attend international MUN conferences, where he’ll debate real-world issues, collaborate with other young leaders, and represent his country on the global stage.

A hardworking, straight-A student with a 4.3 GPA, Ethan is entering 10th grade with a dream of pursuing a career serving his country in Congress, the field of history, or law & government. This travel team opportunity could be a life-changing step on that path — and he’s inviting supporters to help him get there.

This isn’t just about one student. It’s about what happens when a community rallies around hard work, leadership, and the potential of the next generation.

Every donation — big or small — brings Ethan closer to his goal.
Let’s help a truly good kid make one of his dreams come true.

Thank you for your support!
