$1,000 Provides a College Field Trip for 40 Middle- and High School Students
Did you know?
Latino/Latina students are the most economically disadvantaged ethnic student group in California, and are more likely to live in a household facing financial hardship due to the pandemic. They're also less likely to enter and graduate from college.
UVFC's weekly, school-based CLARO and CLARA mentorship groups provide teens with activities that increase their wellbeing, foster stronger school engagement, and remove barriers to higher education. Data for the past four school years shows that a higher percentage of graduating seniors who participated in CLARO/CLARA met UC and CSU requirements compared to their peers not enrolled in CLARO/CLARA .
Your $1,000 donation will help 40 middle- and high school students realize that higher education is within their reach by taking them on an engaging fieldtrip to a local college - where they'll learn the ins and outs of the application process and have a chance to talk with students who come from our community.
