The Study Hall

What an incredible time we've had at Camp Exploration 2024! It's hard to believe it's already come to an end. Our scholars truly enjoyed every moment, from the exciting field trips to the enriching activities that sparked their curiosity and growth. The Splashpad was a big hit on those hot days, providing a perfect way to cool off and have fun!

As a reminder our afterschool program will kick off again on August 5th 2024. We can't wait to welcome both new and returning faces for another season of exciting learning experiences. See y'all soon! 🌞📚🎉

You've heard the phrase, "an apple a day, keeps the doctor away". That's easy enough to say if you have access to healthy foods. At The Study Hall we make sure to provide our scholars with at least a snack and a one or two nutritious meals at our Collier Heights location. We also have an on site garden where we teach our scholars how easy it is to grow nutritious food and how delicious it can taste.

Make a Lasting Impact Through Our Campaign!

If you've volunteered with us, you know that by the end of the day, the difference you've made is undeniable. What was once an empty space is now a vibrant playground or a flourishing garden, ready to be loved and utilized for years to come.

Non-profits like ours need dedicated individuals like you who are willing to get their hands dirty and make a tangible difference. And if you've taken the time to volunteer with us, you know that what truly makes The Study Hall special isn't just our new spaces...It's our unwavering commitment to providing enrichment and educational opportunities to under-resourced youth on the Westside of Atlanta.

As we prepare our scholars to return to school on August 1, we ask you to continue making a difference by donating to our campaign. Your contribution will directly support our on-going programs that enrich and educate our scholars, providing them with essential resources and support during after-school.

Together, we can ensure that every scholar has the tools they need to succeed. To donate please do to our website https://lnkd.in/exkDjefr

Calling all Study Hall Volunteers! We need your participation and engagement once more. You know first hand the difference your support can make, please consider donating and re-sharing our message, so that all your friends and family can make a difference too!

Calling all tree huggers and garden lovers! The Study Hall is looking for a few knowledgeable volunteers to help us maintain our flourishing vegetable garden on a regular basis. Your expertise can help our garden thrive!

What an incredible day it has been! Part I of The Study Hall's vegetable and sensory garden is officially complete, and we couldn't be more grateful for the amazing support we've received. A huge shoutout to The Home Depot Foundation for generously providing the funds that made this project possible.

We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to the volunteers from the Home Depot headquarters who rolled up their sleeves and put in the hard work to build these beautiful planters. Your dedication and effort truly make a difference!

But wait, there's more! Part II is coming up on April 10th, where we'll continue this amazing journey with more even more Home Depot volunteers. Together, they'll be planting vegetables and flowers alongside our scholars.

The planters look absolutely stunning, and we can't wait to see them bursting with life! Thank you once again to The Home Depot Foundation and all our incredible volunteers. We're beyond excited for the next project together!

"Little girls with ideas become women with vision."

At The Study Hall, we firmly believe in nurturing the potential of every young girl, empowering them to become tomorrow's leaders. As we commemorate International Women's Day, we're proud to share our commitment to providing tailored opportunities for all our female scholars.

Education is the cornerstone of empowerment, and we're committed to offering our young girls not just access to education, but also experiences that ignite their passions and cultivate leadership skills. From fostering an environment where they can explore subjects like STEAM to providing platforms for them to voice their ideas and concerns, we strive to break barriers and pave the way for a future where gender equality thrives.

We recognize the historical underrepresentation of women in fields like STEAM, often due to a lack of resources and encouragement in their youth. That's why we're adamant about bridging this gap and ensuring that young women in our program have equal access to opportunities and resources for growth and understanding.

This International Women's Day, let's celebrate the potential and the power of every girl who dreams of a brighter future.

Spring is almost here! Get warmed up with a little bourbon and BBQ at The Study Hall's spring fundraiser. To purchase tickets please check out our website or screenshot/scan the QR code. https://thestudyhall.org/fundraising-events/
