Providence Student Union

Well-Being Aid: The Well-Being Aid (WBA) is a mutual aid program that is directed by the WBA youth task force. While psu works towards systemic change in providence schools and beyond, we recognize that students are organizing under tough economic circumstances and that immediate issues can derail youth in their academic and organizing pursuits. Through the WBA fund, Providence high school students can apply for funds or in-kind support for food, transportation, rent, utilities, and other essentials. We aim to respond to significant needs that are not being addressed through other resources or programs. To offer more comprehensive support for students, we also provided referrals to verified community resources, opened a free clothing closet, and conducted a back-to-school supply drive.
