The Faces Behind Our Success

What our LEARN Community is saying

"What I love most about being a part of the LEARN community is getting to know the students and seeing how each one is unique, with their own distinct personality. My favorite memory is watching them connect through clubs and activities like sports, music, and gardening. It’s amazing how they form strong bonds despite their differences."

Alejandro BivianoPREP Youth Leader

"My favorite LEARN memories were family night and carnival day, especially doing the splash tower with Mr. Joseph. I also got to play the inflatable basketball game. On the final day of school, I had fun with all my friends at the bounce houses."

Christopher G.TK-8 After School Student

"I love being here for the kids and offering them the attention and love they may need. I am always involved and helping everyone around me feel noticed and supported."

Marcela EstrasaTK-8 After School Youth Leader and Community Liaison

"My favorite moment at PREP was when the Barista Club joined our lunch event and brought drinks to the school. I really enjoyed the matcha—it made the day even more special."
