Up against limited resources to offer even the most basic educational services, P.S. 182 Principal Alice Hernandez Ortiz partnered with Change for Kids to “bring this beautiful school resources and to create opportunities for the children of P.S. 182 who for so long have been denied.” Her goal is to provide the 360 students at the school with an “outstanding education that develops the potential of each student to a maximum as we prepare them to become successful lifelong learners in a multicultural, diverse and global society.” We are thrilled to help P.S. 182 grow toward this goal.
