The Project Kindred model includes: 1.Programs that help build meaningful connections across lines of racial and economic difference for youth grades 5-12. 2. Opportunities to strengthen those relationships and initiate new relationships over time. 3. An experiential curriculum that empowers all students to internalize the lessons in diversity, respect, listening, empathy, communication and conflict resolution. 4. Long-term mentoring and support for student-led projects that advance justice in their communities.Expenses $407,917 · revenue $54,092
