THE CINDERELLA PROJECT 2012

A magically simple concept, youth in our community who are living in low income situations can not afford to celebrate the graduation festivities along side their fellow students, as a result many of them don’t see the value in completing high school. These students are referred to the Cinderella Project by their teachers, principals or social workers to participate in a day of recognition, self-esteem boosting and mentorship. On this day, “Boutique Day”, we provide these special students with formal attire so they can attend their graduation festivities with pride. Without assistance these students could not afford to participate in celebrating this important milestone.

The Cinderella Project works to remove social barriers, wanting to recognize outstanding young people who have succeeded in the face of overwhelming odds and boost their confidence and self esteem through positive mentorship. Nearly half of all Cinderellas and Cinderfellas are chronically ill or physically or developmentally disabled. More than two-thirds of those students who are physically able to work juggle multiple jobs before and after school to help support their families. Many are caring for ailing parents or raising younger siblings with little support. Most have never had a childhood.

Let me know if you want to join in!
