COVID Stories

As the realities of COVID-19 set in, we immediately recognized the need to support our students at school and at home. To date, 75% have experienced an impact to their jobs, 63% are experiencing food insecurity, and 63% are concerned about paying rent. In addition to supporting students while distance learning, we are providing a number of new services:

 

Laptops and internet access

Virtual English conversation partners

Virtual student/tutor pairings

Virtual ¡Habla Más! Spanish Coaching

Monthly grocery gift cards

 

Drive-thru meal program with Anew Vista

Grocery Box Program with Vegan Outreach

Virtual student support groups

Ongoing staff outreach

Community resources for financial aid and additional food assistance

The unanticipated support we are providing students would not be possible without the generosity of our community of friends, tutors and donors. Below are just a few of our students who wish to say thank you.
