Our after school classes served middle schools, high schools, and grammar schools, with in-class presentations and weekly visits to schools such as West High, McGillis School, Silver Hills Elementary, and Connection High.
2021-Present:
Clear Wheel's mission took on a global dimension in 2021 as we began working with students in grades 6-9 in both girls' and boys' schools in the Jabalia Camp in Gaza. We supported their English teachers by offering opportunities and encouragement to practice English, connected them with American students for cultural exchanges, and facilitated problem-solving community support projects. These initiatives included fundraising to provide clothing and necessities for less fortunate members of the community and repairing roofs for local families in Jabalia. You can get a glimpse of these efforts on our Past Donations page and on our Media page.
