Like everyone else POE has been impacted by the pandemic. Thanks to our terrific students and volunteer mentors we've all been able to work together to keep our students in school and progressing toward their degrees.

Karina Macias, a POE student and graduate of Eastside and St. Mary's College, was interviewed when the Trump administration announced its plan to roll back DACA (Deferred Action Childhood Arrival). Click to see the full article.

POE hosted a workshop with Sacred Heart Prep to allow students to analyze their personality strengths and weaknesses and think about how they can communicate effectively with others.

Thank you letter from a proud POE college graduate who appreciated not only the financial support POE provides, but also the mentoring and opportunities. (Student name is removed for privacy)

We recently received a letter from one of our scholars who began with us in 2013. The letter is a wonderful reminder of so many of our students’ promise for the future. It also reminds us of what POE means to our recipients. While some of Karla Velarde’s story is referenced in her letter, it doesn’t tell about how her parents made the most of their family’s lives despite coming to this country under tough circumstances. We are so proud of Karla. We also want to amplify her thanks to all of the POE community who have helped make this story (and so many others) happen.
