Students are not just statistics
As a 7th grade student in 2017, Tanya Keskar launched Realize to Act to empower students to reach for their dreams by equipping students with the tools they need to succeed. We now provide hundreds of backpacks and school supplies every year to students in underserved communities. We are so grateful for the community that has formed around our work, and our honored to be able to create real change in our communities.
