Changing the Odds for Kids with Maria McRoberts

Penji’s Non-Profit Community Coordinator, Oliver, talks with Maria McRoberts about her journey as Art Director at Think Together, a nonprofit that partners with schools to provide after-school and enrichment programs for underserved youth. Maria shares how Think Together supports kids from their earliest learning years through high school and even college, offering them not just academic help but also creative outlets like music, dance, and arts. She also talks about the challenges of navigating education during the pandemic, the importance of mental health, and how former students often return to give back as mentors, staff, or community leaders—creating a powerful cycle of impact.

1. How Think Together’s programs provide holistic support for kids, from academics to arts.

2. The ways alumni and families give back to the organization, strengthening its mission.

3. Why collaboration, creativity, and self-care are vital for sustaining meaningful nonprofit work.
