The Pencil Project runs on students from right here in Austin who decided to do something instead of wait.
Both incoming high school freshmen, both from Austin.
Started The Pencil Project on a simple idea: no Austin student should fall behind because they couldn't afford a notebook - and one day, no student anywhere. He leads the drives and keeps the mission moving.
Jumped in early as co-founder and helps run fundraising, outreach, and the day-to-day of getting supplies where they need to go all around the world.
Supplies are the bare minimum to learn. No kid should go without the basics.
We help kids wherever they're going without - what we raise goes where it's needed most.
You don't have to be an adult to make a real difference. We're proof.
We're a small crew and growing. If you'd like to help out around Austin, we'd love to hear from you.
