Franciscan Works’ Global Classmates Program Connects Your Classroom With Students in Liberia, West Africa.
Our Global Classmates program forms friendships between your classroom and students at Liberia Mission. Ranging in grades K-12th grade, there are vulnerable youth at Liberia Mission who are in need of sponsors to help provide their education, housing, meals, and medical care. Through a classroom sponsorship, your students will grow in compassion, generosity, and understanding while giving hope and support to their Global Classmate. Friendships, mutual respect, communication skills, and global competency develop in classrooms through the Global Classmates program!
How it Works
Sponsor a classmate or a classroom at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School! There are vulnerable youth ranging in grades K-12 who are in need of sponsors. Your classroom helps provide their education, housing, meals, medical and more. Learn more about the students in need here.
Fundraise
Choose a sponsorship level (see below) and frequency. Decide the best way for your classroom to contribute the sponsorship amount. This could include your classroom hosting a fundraiser or each child contributing a small amount.
Learn about Your Global Classmate
You’ll receive an information packet about your Global Classmate and Liberia. Your class and their Global Classmate will get to know each other through letters and photos!
