The Delaware Black Student Coalition (DBSC) is an entirely student-led organization dedicated to the advancement of Black students in Delaware. With all 7 of the co-founders being high school students. DBSC consists of middle school, high school, and college students and is growing at a rapid rate! With the money raised from this fundraiser, DBSC will be able to purchase the necessary items in order to proceed along with our overall mission and goal of being students that support students. The world in which we live is entirely virtual at this point in time and it is nearly impossible to create a program without a fully functional website, zoom account, and other resources that full-time high-school students can't purchase. In addition to this, the coalition is doing important work within the state and we do not plan on stopping anytime soon. These funds are going to help us advertise the initiatives we have been working on such as working with state legislators on a bill that will ensure that Black History and Culture will be taught in the DE public school system. Other programs that the coalition hosts are educational workshops and informative panels which often require some financial backing in order to utilize the proper technology to function in an effective manner. With your support, the Delaware Black Student Coalition will be able to thrive and bring change for many years to come! Thank you so much.

About TeenSHARP, Inc.
Mission: Building a diverse pipeline of leaders, one top college admission at a time
Founded in 2009, TeenSHARP is a unique learning community for Black, Latino, and low-income students across the Delaware Valley region that uses top college admissions as a lever to change the landscape of leadership in America.
Our vision is that, one day, those who occupy our nation's highly-skilled jobs and most influential positions will reflect the rich diversity of the nation itself. In service of that vision, we prepare scholars to attend, thrive at, and graduate (with little or no debt) from top colleges. At these schools, diverse scholars access the social capital, academic rigor, and intellectual development they deserve—and which they can leverage to become community-minded change-makers on the path to fulfilling their highest potential.
Since 2009, TeenSHARP has grown from serving 10 students in a church basement to hundreds of teens with virtual programs. More than 400 students have graduated from TeenSHARP in 12 years, going on to study at schools such as Yale, MIT, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Vanderbilt, Macalester, Pomona, Northeastern, and Swarthmore. The vast majority of TeenSHARP alumni complete college within four years (all do so within six) and graduate, on average, with $15,000 or less in student loan debt.
We aim to serve another 2,025 students by 2025.
