Our Mission
SKJAJA Fund’s mission is to level the playing field so that all youth grades K-12 have access to extracurricular and service opportunities that ignite their spark, deepen their connections to community and strengthen their leadership skills.
Our History
Since 2008, SKJAJA has:
-
Provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships for thousands of Orange County students, supporting extracurricular and after-school enrichment activities, igniting their sparks, and helping to close the achievement gap.
-
Provided musical instruments to hundreds of students for orchestra and band programs throughout Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools.
-
Collaborated with students, families, school teachers and administrators, businesses, organizations, volunteers and community leaders to build a stronger Orange County.
