FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda So Schmidt changed her strategy. For their next paper, each student was instructed to write about a personal passion, then research a summer program in the Los Angeles area related to that passion. Nearly all of them turned in a paper.
“There was this big transition from apathy to this very distinct excitement, and it got them writing,” Schmidt recalls.
Motivated by this success, Schmidt ran a marathon, through which she raised $12,000, enough to send seven students to the program of their choice. The kids were different when they returned. “It felt like a total 180,” she says. “They were more confident. And they had this broader vision of what could be possible for their lives.”
Schmidt wanted to turn this experiment into a full-time gig, and in 2012 launched Wishbone.org, a non-profit crowdfunding platform that helps low-income students get the money they need to attend elite summer programs. To date, Wishbone has helped send 378 students to summer programs, amounting to more than $1 million in funding.
