Story

Since launching in early 2013, POPS has grown from a single club at Venice High School in Los Angeles to schools across Los Angeles, Pennsylvania, Atlanta and New York, and our expansion will continue. Your support is critical to our continued success.

The POPS curriculum focuses on self-expression (writing, drawing, photography, performance); self-healing (mindfulness); and community engagement (sharing questions and concerns, listening to speakers, speaking to middle schoolers, forums and others). POPS stories and poems are published in an annual award-winning anthology and regularly published on The Good Men Project.

Your donations help us to provide a weekly lunch for each club member; to recruit, train and support volunteers and club sponsors; to enhance our curriculum; to create events featuring our students; to publish students' writings and artwork; and to provide leadership training opportunities for students and graduates.

About the charity
