The 1881 Institute has made a lasting impact on my family.

Both of my sons began their journey with 1881 through its summer camps, where they were introduced to technology and engineering at a young age. In later years, they returned as camp counselors, gaining leadership experience and confidence.

Through 1881's programs and support, they secured college internships that helped prepare them for the real world. Today, my older son Joseph is employed at 1881, teaching robotics-continuing the cycle of learning and mentorship he benefited from.

Bahiy's guidance and dedication have been truly invaluable to my sons and so many others in our community.

I give because I've seen firsthand the difference 1881 makes. Please consider making a donation-your support goes directly into empowering the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers.
