An excellent article on a creative new program! Upward Scholars is doing a wonderful job helping an often-overlooked group--adult immigrant English-learners--to better their lives through education. In bettering their own lives, these folks are role models for their children and others in their community. I've served in many capacities with the organization--including as a board member and a tutor--so I have first-hand knowledge of their success. You, too, can help--as a donor, tutor, other kind of volunteer, or as an Habla Mas participant! You won't regret it!

Sounds like a great program. So many people in our community don’t receive federal stimulus so this program and this organization are filling a real gap. Many nonprofits are struggling right now...give if you can!
