Students in our Goal Setting program get to pick out prizes for their hard work during virtual learning. This is the last celebration of the school year! You will help issue an e-gift card to each student, which they use to pick out cool prizes.
Details:
This is an entirely virtual volunteer opportunity. You will use your own device and reliable Internet connection. You will meet with Shadow Project staff to have a 20-minute Zoom orientation to train and demonstrate how to issue e-gift cards. You do not need any special skills, but should feel comfortable using digital technology. You will receive a list of student names and the amount to load on their gift card. You'll then use Shopify to create that student's gift card. Lastly, you'll add the link to the gift card to a spreadsheet next to that student's name.
Who We Are:
The Shadow Project teams with teachers to transform school into a place where children with disabilities can thrive. Students who experience dyslexia, ADHD, autism and trauma experience autonomy, belonging, healthy academic growth, and build confidence. The Shadow Project has fostered academic and social-emotional growth for more than 12,500 students with learning challenges in grades K-8. Students set and meet ambitious goals, persevere through difficulty and gain up to two years in their reading ability. This school year, we'll work closely with special education teachers and families, supporting students to harness their resilience and champion their success during distance learning.

Mission Statement
The Shadow Project envisions an education system that normalizes and celebrates learning differences and supports every student to thrive in school. We have a proven track record of fostering social and academic growth for schoolchildren with learning challenges such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and trauma, many of whom are from communities of color, low-income backgrounds, and/or are English Language Learners. With the conviction that all students can graduate from high school given access to the right supports, The Shadow Project provides innovative tools and techniques tailored to diverse learners and supports teachers in integrating those tools into their classrooms. Together we've helped to unleash the potential of more than 14,000 capable learners in grades K-12 in Portland, McMinnville, and Salem.
Description
Founded by a Portland mom whose son, who has dyslexia, was ready to give up on school in second grade, The Shadow Project has helped foster success for children in pre-K - th grade whose special education needs include dyslexia, ADHD, autism, speech/language challenges, and trauma.
The Shadow Project has evolved from an all-volunteer "mom and pup" operation to a 501(c)3 nonprofit partnered with schools in multiple Oregon counties. The organization has three proven programs (https://www.shadow-project.org/school-programs/)that celebrate the inherent worth of every child.
