Junior League of The Woodlands InSTEP Period Project Application
On behalf of the Junior League of The Woodlands and its InSTEP (In Support of Teen Empowerment and Progress) Committee, we would like to invite you to apply to The Period Project, which would provide partner schools with free period supplies for girls in your district.
Period Poverty is a global issue that prevents a large number of women and girls from obtaining period supplies when needed. We also know that school districts are given a limited budget for period supplies. Our committee created The Period Project to partner with schools in our service area to help provide these necessary items.
For the past four years, we have collected and donated personal hygiene items for girls of all ages and distributed them to schools to provide for students in need. We have previously included items such as sanitary napkins, tampons, and underwear.
Schools interested in applying for our InSTEP Period Project will need to meet the following criteria:
- Schools selected to partner with InSTEP must be within JLTW service area (this includes: North Harris and South Montgomery Counties. These areas include but are not limited to: Champions, Spring, Cypress, Klein, Tomball, Jersey Village, Humble, The Woodlands, Conroe, Willis & Aldine).
- May have a percentage of economically disadvantaged population of 70% or higher for the previous school year. Federal school reports are made available to the public on each district website.
- May be designated as Title I schools.
- The program will primarily serve schools which demonstrate a measurable need for period products in their specific campus.
- The partner/school must initiate the relationship to serve as program site and interest to enter in an equitable partnership with JLTW.
