New GIVE Partnership!!!

Our co-founder, Daniella Cohen was recently named a 2016 Global Teen Leader by We Are Family Foundation! Daniella spent a week in New York, working on GIVE and learning about impact measurement, growth, and sustainability. She was paired with a mentor, Drew Bartkiewicz, the founder and CEO of Lettrs. Lettrs is a pen pal letter messaging app with millions of users, passionate about cultural understanding and empathy. We are excited to harness the capabilities of this app and launch campaigns to help our partner schools. Here are some photos from the event!
