Maple Bear Global Schools strongly believes its students must learn that giving back is an important activity, one that needs to be practiced year-round.
“Our children are lucky enough to have parents who see the value of a bilingual education and can afford to provide it for them,” said Maple Bear Global Schools Board Member and Maple Bear USA school owner Robin Pascoe. “That heightens our responsibility as educators to ensure those children – whom we believe will one day be the future leaders of their countries – have a strong sense of social justice and learn how to engage in active citizenship.”
Pascoe pointed out that the education sector lends itself to having a significant social impact and purpose. Here is a sample of the programs Maple Bear has participated in all over the world, giving back to local communities:
- Online crowdsourcing fundraiser and socially distant motorcade at school – Brazil
- Drive-in movie night with proceeds donated to the Terry Fox Foundation – Manila, Philippines
- Raising over $100,000 for the children’s Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Children’s Wishing Well – Singapore
- Gathering massive amounts
of donated food, water and clothing for typhoon victims – Philippines and central Vietnam - Raising over $175,000 for cancer research with “Runs for Hope” – Brazil, Singapore and Vietnam
Maple Bear takes great pride in giving back as a strong pillar of its culture. If you are passionate about educating children and supporting local communities, Maple Bear could be the right franchise opportunity for you. As a worldwide leader in early childhood education, this proven brand has more than 510 schools in over 30 countries across the globe, and it has recently expanded to the U.S. Maple Bear USA’s schools offer high-quality early childhood education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years old. All of the schools offer a strong foundational program in Spanish.
“Teaching students the joy of giving back is simply the right thing to do,” explained Pascoe.
