Extracurriculars & Community

The SBEA supports growth of the whole student through extracurriculars and community involvement.

How We Help

Exceptional learning experiences—whether in the classroom or through extracurricular activities—help students discover their interests, build discipline and confidence, and form meaningful connections with peers and mentors. These opportunities not only strengthen academic growth but also provide vital support systems, especially for students who face barriers to success.

We help fill funding gaps so teachers and schools can offer high-quality instruction, hands-on learning, and enriching programs that every student deserves. We also encourage students to give back through community service, helping them grow into curious, capable, and civic-minded individuals.

How to Support Our Work

You can support our work by investing in students, teachers, and schools through a variety of meaningful giving opportunities. Sponsor an event to directly uplift school programs and community engagement efforts, make a donation to fund immediate needs, or create an endowment that sustains our mission for generations. Businesses can also partner with us to support programs that align with their values while strengthening local education. Together, we can expand opportunities and enrich learning across South Bend public schools.
