Hand-Built Desks for Students

We understand the challenges that students are facing as they complete their education remotely. We are offering FREE desks so that students can have a space to learn at home. These sturdy, quality desks are built by our volunteers, handcrafted from wood and then stained for longevity. 

If you are a student and would like to receive a hand-built desk, please sign up and we will contact you with availability and further details.
Transportation

We have generously received TWO buses to help transport our students to and from our facility who would otherwise not have access to participate in our programs alongside their peers. 

Students must contact Second Story at least 30 minutes before doors open to request pick up.
