Through the leadership of Arts Teacher Valerie Stewart, students from the Alternative Education Center, Odessa, TX, participated in the 2022 World Needs Challenge with the theme, "Sparking global change through art–ivism." Students created posters incorporating their Arts or Math lessons and covering any global causes they support, such as clean oceans, humanitarian aid for refugees, hunger relief, overcoming bias, and arts activism. All these causes promote the global goals for sustainable development. For every artwork a student creates until June 3, 2022, the Bezos Family Foundation makes a donation to programs meeting global needs.
