This fundraiser is a collaborative effort powered by The Amulet Fairy and Leaders High School students.
The Amulet Fairy, founded by Samantha Frank-Beckford, also works at the College and Career Office at Leaders High School and, is dedicated to supporting students with their post-secondary plans.
Through a work-place challenge through Future Ready NYC- 25 Highschool students will participate in a Workplace Challenge that will seek to transform a retail space in Flatbush into a cooperative educational hub, benefiting both Leaders High School students and local businesses.
CARE TO SUPPORT?
By supporting this project, you are helping create a unique learning environment where students can gain hands-on experience directly from local entrepreneurs, building their skills in retail, marketing, and entrepreneurship.
HOW DOES IT BENEFIT STUDENTS?
For Leaders students in grades 9-12, this hub offers mentorship opportunities with local business owners and practical experience in managing a cooperative storefront. It’s a powerful extension of the Business and Marketing Pathway, providing students the chance to apply their classroom knowledge in a professional setting.
HOW DOES IT BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY?
The cooperative model also supports emerging brands by keeping costs affordable, allowing students to see how collaboration can drive community success. This hub will be a place for students to develop essential skills, explore potential career interests, and forge valuable connections within their community.
Together, we are creating a space that fosters growth, learning, and opportunity—an investment in the future of our students and the Flatbush community!
