OUTREACH TESTIMONIALS
E4FC is proud to have received the following testimonials from participants in our recent workshops and presentations:
"I just wanted to let you know I sat in on E4FC's workshop for
parents and you did a GREAT job! The room was packed and parents had
tons of questions. It was a much needed workshop and I was saddened by
the parents' lack of information - it only goes to show we need to do
more things like this. Thanks for setting up the workshop." -- April Alvarez, Eastside College Preparatory (East Palo Alto, CA)
"Thank
you for the helpful resources and guidance you provided at last week's
AB540 workshop at the College of Marin. We had about 30 high school and
community providers attending, and we've received positive feedback from
everyone. The combination of the student panel and your professional
perspective seemed especially effective in delivering practical messages
about how to help this student population." -- Susan Keiter, Marin College Access Network (San Rafael, CA)
"This
is the best presentation about AB540 I've ever attended. E4FC
presenters are energetic, grassroots, and level-headed. Lots of
information and useful resources. I am truly impressed." -- Marty Zielke, Centro Latino Coordinator, Merrit College (Oakland, CA)
"The students, who were not all friends before
this workshop, quickly developed a community of trust. From there they
were able to be very engaged in the various activities. Their final
products, after a relatively short time, were amazing. I believe the
students left feeling empowered and inspired." -Jane Slater, Sequoia
High School (Redwood City, CA)
"The workshop was able to creatively show students how to write about their immigration stories. Many members of the audience really enjoyed having a performance rather than an instructional workshop." -Angel, IDEAS at San Francisco State University
"It was powerful that the presenters were from the same community as our students. They became instant role models for our students to aspire to be like...Also, having one of the student's parent talk about her experiences was very helpful and inspiring to our families." -Amelia Kolokihakaufisi, Foundation for a College Education (East Palo Alto, CA)
"This was great in increasing resources for professionals to help the students they serve. The information was great...and the film was powerful and helped start a thoughtful conversation. Thank you!" -Amy Weinstein, National Scholarship Providers Association
"Having our students meet an individual who, undocumented himself, survived and thrived the process was very reassuring and inspiring -- having it translated into Spanish was great!" -Jen Nguyen, Jefferson High School (Daly City, CA)
"Jose did a great job working with our staff
members in co-presenting our workshop about resources for AB540
students. In the second presentation, he was solo and was very good at
interweaving facts about what is available for AB540 students and
personal anecdotes. It was great when he answered the question of what to do next." -Chase Finney, 10,000
