Friends of GROW, Inc.

Help open doors to learning.

Friends of GROW is a Florida nonprofit that supports charitable and educational access through technology, classroom resources, and experiential learning opportunities for homeschool students.

First campaign

MMUN New York Travel Aid

Middle school students are preparing to represent their delegation at the Montessori Model United Nations Conference in New York City, March 17–20, 2027. They research international issues, write position papers and speeches, and practice formal debate and diplomacy — and the conference is where that work comes alive alongside students from around the world.

Travel is a real cost for families. Your gift helps fund need-based travel aid so that cost isn’t what decides whether a qualified delegate can attend. Aid is awarded by Friends of GROW under written, objective, and nondiscriminatory criteria.
