Read more about why our amazing Board Chair Kanitha Snow supports our work at The Village Institute, and contribute to our Bring the Little Village BACK TO SCHOOL Campaign! *Reach out to Ellie Adelman to learn more about making a donation eligible for a 50% Colorado State Tax Credit through the Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit!
As a daughter of Cambodian refugees, I am constantly inspired by the community of #coloradans and organizations that work to support our refugee and immigrant neighbors who we know are smart, skilled, and have all the tenacity in the world. The Village Institute is one of these organizations where I currently serve as board chair, and we are kicking off a fundraising campaign to Bring the Little Village "Back to School"! The Little Village is an early learning space for children from more than ten different countries - all in one classroom, all supported by refugee and immigrant teachers who support the languages spoken by families. We are currently redesigning the model of The Little Village in partnership with Montessori on Wheels, and we will be reopening in January 2024. We need support to make this happen. As we kick off our campaign, be the first to help us unlock a $10,000 match by investing in refugee and immigrant mothers and children. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/g5Y5xZBz
