Seeds of Hope Summer Academy

The Seeds of Hope initiative was created at the Adrian Dominican School of Education, Leadership, and Human Development at Barry University in response to the growing need in the Miami community to support Ukrainian families escaping the war. Through the program, the children will receive social-emotional, sports, academic, and psychosocial supportive services. We aim to improve the lives of the displaced Ukrainian population by helping these families deal with war-related trauma and providing children with a compassionate learning environment. The summer academy will run for one week and include activities that support and inspire children to build hope for a better future.

Your generous donation will help us provide these much-needed services to children who have been impacted by war. Make a gift today to support this important cause! We thank you for your help and look forward to bringing positive change to our community’s youth.
