Each year, IndyStar’s Season for Sharing campaign and the Our Children initiative use the power of local journalism to support Central Indiana's youth. Here's how you can help.It started as a homework club. The year was 2001 and Sally Bindley saw a need. The school-based social worker noticed additional challenges facing her students experiencing homelessness, and she wanted to do something about it.
Last year, School on Wheels changed its name to Brightlane Learning. They wanted to better reflect the service that the organization provides, she said, especially in light of how they'd expanded in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic upended many families, increasing housing instability and disrupting learning for thousands of kids. In short, more kids than ever need the help that Brightlane provides.
They're providing that bright path to more students than ever. Already in the first semester of the school year, Brightlane has worked with nearly 500 students, nearly as many students as they served all of the last school year. In two years, they've grown from working with 18 partner locations to 31 − many of which are schools. Much of the expansion, she said, is into middle and high schools.
I wish, there was a media police in entertainment and news. Everytime there poverty, prison information, and crime awareness, the show Black people as the head of it. It's racist and sickening.
