WISL’s collaboration with SAM has continued as members participate in different phases of the funding cycle with LOI (Letter Of Interest), Fast Pitch, RFP (Request For Proposal), site visits, due diligence and the final funding decision making process. WISL worked again with SAM as much as possible during the remote Covid-19 school year (2020-21). In WISL’s third official year, WISL was invited by SAM to fully participate in their 2021-22 funding cycle in order to include the insights and feedback of locally engaged and informed youth in their entire decision making process. WISL continued exploring all of the possibilities embedded in this work during the 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a42f661f2cc1ae34c3b69/6ffceb09-0404-480f-aa46-0973ecf410ec/SAM+summer+2022+newsletter.jpg WISL Archives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a42f661f2cc1ae34c3b69/4adaef34-82d0-4ecc-81e8-0618588009ce/IMG_7755.jpeg WISL Archives - 2nd Grade Animal Welfare Persuasive Writing Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a42f661f2cc1ae34c3b69/52e752f7-af8a-456b-92ff-c5a703c60272/IMG_7742.jpeg WISL Archives - WISL Presentation to second grade at Wildwood Elementary WISL collaborated with 2nd graders at Wildwood Elementary School on a six week persuasive writing unit in a fun and interactive way! focusing on community activism & animal welfare in partnership with Best Friends LA (BFLA).
