Helping Houston's Homeless was created in 2020-2021 by 8th grade Lanier Middle School student Dominic Amador.

Dominic is a current student at Lanier Middle School. Lanier Middle School is an authorized International Baccalaureate(IB) Vanguard school in Houston ISD with a three year MYP programme. All 8th grade students who attend International Baccalaureate(IB) schools are required to complete a Community Project.

The International Baccalaureate(IB) Community Project places an emphasis on the community, service, global context, action, and inquiry. Students are also encouraged to utilize a variety of "Approaches to Learning" or "ATL's" including: (1) Thinking, (2) Researching, (3) Communication, (4) Social Skills, and (5) Self-Management Skills.

Students are encouraged to explore their personal responsibilities as local and global citizens and implement action within their community.

Dominic plans to serve Houston’s homeless community by raising money with an online fundraiser for SEARCH Homeless Services and marketing the fundraiser via JustGiving.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.

Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. It’s the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks for visiting and supporting my IB Community Project!
