Tools for School (toolsforschool.org) is a teen-led nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering students in need by providing them with backpacks and school supplies essential for their educational success. We aim to alleviate the financial burden faced by underprivileged families while raising awareness about this important issue in our community.

Please don't be alarmed by the really long title of this series! This series is essentially for a book club. We'll be talking about books, films, comics, and more. You all can share all that you like! We can have fun debates and conversations about common tropes and ideas we see in the media. Please do not stop yourself from joining if you don't like books! Maybe you just don't like reading but I'm sure this club can allow you to take a greater interest in books. Even if you don't like books, we can look at many literary and non-literary texts like films, comics, mangas and more! Hey guys, I think I'll stick to holding one or two sessions a month.
