Next Generation Scholars’ Dreams Come True

2009 has been outstanding for the Next Generation Scholars. 100% of the Senior class earned admission selective four year colleges. Some of the schools opening their doors to Next Generation Scholars this year are: Stanford, UC Berkeley, Occidental, Wesleyan, Boston College, American University, Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, UCLA, USC, University of the Pacific, University of San Diego, University of Chicago, NYU, Boston University, Santa Clara University, Tufts and many more.

Beyond gaining admission, the Next Generation Scholars have become leaders in their communities. The scholars put on a party for middle school honor students in the Canal district of San Rafael.  We are furthering our goal of creating college bound culture by mentoring our newest young scholars.

Next Generation Scholars also played an active role in the fight for educational equity in Marin County. From teaching a Latino Culture class to elementary school children to enabling children in shelters to envision a future in college, Next Generation Scholars have been playing an active role in uplifting their communities. The leadership of the Next Generation Scholars has been bestowed multiple leadership awards both locally and nationally.

Next Generation Scholars look forward to their bright futures. They are eager to generate positive change as they represent Marin County in America’s best colleges and universities.

The Next Generation Scholars program has had the pleasure of attending multiple events across the Bay. Highlightsthis Fall are: the SF Museum of Modern Art, YouthSpeaks MLK celebration, the Teachers 4 Social Justice Conference, the Asian American Issues Conference at Stanford and the R.I.S.E conference at UC Berkeley.
