Scholarships

The scholarship program, the only one of its kind in Placer County, provides ongoing financial aid and mentoring to high school graduates pursuing training/education at vocational schools, community colleges, or universities. The students are graduates from seven alternative education programs in Placer County. Referred by their high school counselors, teachers, and principals, they are from culturally, ethnically, and socio-economically diverse backgrounds. Alternative education programs are better suited to these students’ learning styles than traditional high schools. All have faced significant life challenges, and all have faced these challenges with strength of character and a vision for a better life.

Literacy Enrichment

Our members assist students in the classroom under the direction of the teacher. Children read to the members using their grade level materials.

These are but a few of the small miracles we
help make happen throughout any given year.
