This fall, nearly 400 Kansas City teens will spend time each week in Operation Breakthrough's Ignition Lab, a workforce development program where high school students spend time each week getting real-world experience in fields such as graphic design, culinary arts, computer-aided design, green tech, product design, fabrication, megatronics, digital media and automotive engineering. Some will come to The Ignition Lab as part of their coursework at Hogan Prep and DeLaSalle high schools. 

Many could use a little help getting ready to go back to school. 

Your donation will give teens the tools they need to succeed!
For example: 

* $5 can provide a pack of mechanical pencils or highlighters

* $10 can provide two packages of 10 assorted colored folders

* $15 can provide a hygiene kit (toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, deodorant) 

* $20 can provide a clear backpack (required by some schools) 

* $25 can provide a scientific calculator

* $50 can provide a school uniform (pants, shirt, socks and underwear)
