Kits with supplies like stress balls, fidgets, and noise cancelling headphones will be sent to 600 young people in rural Washington to use when they are stressed during remote learning.
An anonymous donor gifted $50,000 to WSU’s College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences, which provided 300 of the kits for rural youth. The WSU team leading the project then applied for and received matching funds from All in Washington through the Innovia Foundation
, and were able to double the amount of kits to 600.
“The pandemic has really turned education upside down,” said Natalie Turner-Depue, interim director for WSU Extension’s Child and Family Research Unit (CAFRU) and the CLEAR Trauma Center, who is currently spearheading the project. “Giving kits to 600 families is a really significant impact, but we are not even scratching the surface of the need.”
