PILT's core team began our journey of community service at the Albert Einstein Academies (AEA). The elementary school was the birthplace of connections and inspiration. The AEA community focuses on building a better society, and bringing people together to create a healthy, safe space. This has brought PILT to life. We are very appreciative of the encouragement we receive from our cherished school, with teachers and the administration continuously offering opportunities for students to engage and make a difference.
PILT projects at AEACES are led by fourth grader Josephine Baur, who joined PILT two school years ago following Brayden's presentation to her class. A natural-born leader, Josephine is passionate about helping those who are less fortunate, especially those experiencing homelessness.
