About
My name is Jiralmi Lugo, I am a current junior at Richard R. Green High School of Teaching. I am part of SEO: a non profit organization that aims to help underserved high school students in New York City get into and graduate from 4-year colleges. I am 17 years old and in the future aspire to become a teacher with the hopes of giving back to a community in need and helping make a positive impact on the lives of young individuals. I am passionate about helping those in need and and giving back. Here at SEO we say: “It’s not about us, it’s about those who came before us and those who will come after.” and with this saying we always keep in mind the steps that past generations have taken to get us to where we are today and the steps that we have to take now to get even further.
What I’m Raising Money For
The money raised will help support my participation in a summer travel abroad program to Argentina. While on this trip I will be participating in community service activities, exploring Argentina, and staying with an Argentine family. More specifically I will be visiting sites of significance around the city such as the Buenos Aires Cathedral, Plaza Mayo, and museums such as the Calibo. I will also be exploring diverse neighborhoods and completing community service projects that will include volunteering at schools, community organization, parks, churches, or with local government and so many other exciting and different activities that I would not otherwise be exposed to in NYC. With my time spent abroad I hope to immerse myself in the Argentine culture, learn about the country’s history, and improve on my spanish speaking skills.
Why You Should Give
Your contribution will help me and my fellow SEO peers go on these types of programs where we give back to the communities we are in, learn through experience, and develop essential skills that will help us become better learners for the future. With your contributions you will be assisting many scholars on their journey of learning, progression, and academic prosperity that will help them attain what they feel is necessary to reach their goals. Our participation in these programs will help broaden our horizons and perspective when it comes to a life after high school and after college.

Huge proponent of opening our students eyes to world outside the one they already know. Also, I loved my time travelling throughout Argentina.
