Yoobi is a one-for-one organization that donates supplies to classrooms and students across the country for every product they sell.

“Thank you Yoobi for helping me surprise every student at a very special school in my hometown of Oakland with school supplies to start the school year off right!” Zendaya captioned a sweet selfie with students that she shared on Instagram Story.

In a speech to all the kids, documented on Yoobi’s Instagram, Zendaya said that, when she grows up, she “want[s] to be someone who is kind, someone who always inspires and gives back.”

The alum then headed into the classrooms, where she handed out supplies including erasers, glue sticks and crayons.
