We Are Enough to Keep Belonging Alive

I’m fundraising for AmazeWorks because I believe every child deserves to walk into a classroom and feel like they belong.

That they matter. That they’re safe to show up as their full selves. That someone sees them and celebrates who they are.

AmazeWorks has been doing this work for 28 years—through seven presidential administrations, countless school cycles, and some of the most challenging moments in education. They don’t chase headlines. They stay rooted. They help teachers lead with courage and compassion, no matter the climate.

This work is about more than curriculum. It’s about connection. It’s about protecting the spaces where kids can thrive, especially when the world tells them to shrink.

I’m raising funds because I want to be part of that protection. Because I’ve seen what happens when belonging is present—and when it’s missing. Because I believe in communities where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

If you believe that, too, I’d be honored to have your support.

 Together, we can bring belonging to life—one classroom, one story, one student at a time.

With deep gratitude,

Will Renk LaPlant
