YODER, Kan. — This week, Yoder Charter School was selected as a semi-finalist for the 2023 Building Hope Impact Award for community engagement.
The Building Hope Impact Awards were created to recognize and support charter schools across the United States that are excelling in advancing education through community engagement, student empowerment, and educational innovation. Yoder Charter School was selected as one of just seven semi-finalist schools in the community engagement category, standing out because of the recently piloted Agriculture Learning Program’s impact within their community.
By the end of March, three finalists in their category will be announced. If selected as one of these three finalists, Yoder Charter School leadership will attend and present at the Building Hope Impact Summit on May 1-4 in Washington D.C., where finalists will find out if they have received one of the two $10,000 grants or the grand prize $20,000 grant to be used to support and enhance the Charter School’s mission.
All of the semi-finalist and honorable mention schools from across the country are examples of the impact that charter schools can have on students, families, and communities.
