SCHOOLS PROJECT 150 SERVES-GET HELP

Project 150 is a non-profit charitable organization founded in December 2011 by two Nevada Natives who heard of 150 homeless students at Rancho High School. Since then, Project 150 provides food, clothing, school supplies, sports equipment, shoes, and other special requests to more than 6,000 high school students in need. 3,300 registered homeless and 3,100 non-registered homeless, displaced and disadvantaged high school students. We are currently serving 58 high schools in Southern Nevada. Additionally Project 150 serves students in need at 20 high schools in Reno, NV. Additional schools are added as schools allocate resource rooms. Project 150’s goal is to collaborate with schools and community organizations to maximize resources and allow students to focus in achieving graduation. Eventually, we wish to add a mentoring program with a pay-it-forward component to promote sustainable college and career readiness.
