Classroom Connections, a registered charity, has been developing innovative educational programs in Canada for over 15 years. As an organization dedicated to learning and youth, Classroom Connections feels a strong responsibility not only to advocate for educational change, but to lead in taking action. Over 5 years ago we started an initiative to synthesize brain and learning research with the goal of pilot testing new approaches to education. Out of this, the Change it Up! program was born. Change it Up! unites high impact programming, strength-based approaches and hands-on community development in a unique and holistic combination. Initial pilot projects have been in partnership with Aboriginal communities, where the need for alternative approaches is critical. Visit http://www.changeitup.ca to see our programs in action.

We are microphilanthropists. We make direct investments in specific projects rather than organizations. Our low cost/high impact model will provide Canadian donors with a unique opportunity to be engaged in grass-roots initiatives with very low investments and high social returns on investments. For 2010 we require $51,000 for our seven projects in Peru. We would also like to raise money to source similar projects in Guatemala and Bolivia.

We do three things. We organize book drives in Ontario schools so students can make a meaningful change and link to their peers in the developing world. We run the annual "Rainforest of Reading" Book Festival every November in the OECS, and we develop professional development for and with educators to support and sustain the impact of book donations and the festival.
