When I Glow Up

Back to School Extravaganza

Empowering Students Through Community Engagement

When I Glow Up is an annual Back-to-School Extravaganza created to support underserved communities by reducing barriers that often come with the start of a new school year. Students and families receive free backpacks and school supplies, groceries, haircuts and hairstyles, manicures, community resources, and more—making the transition back to school smoother, joyful, and filled with dignity.
