Student Success Story
First Give inspires young leaders at John F Kennedy Catholic School
John F Kennedy School ran First Give for the first time and had an exceptionally successful programme! The students were fully engaged in social action, and the teachers saw real improvement in the behaviors of students that usually had struggled with school engagement. Additionally, their Final had a wonderful judging panel and attendance of charity representatives in the audience. We are looking forward to a longstanding partnership with JFK and can’t wait to see what the students come up with next year!
