Steven is currently a Junior and has been a long time IMPACTO student. Continue reading to read a shortened version of his story in the program and how Velvet Holguin, the IMPACTO Program Director, made an impact on his journey. "I was born and raised in Boyle Heights where there aren't many interesting things happening outside of school. My parents immigrated here from Guatemala and Mexico seeking a better life. There are many memories I have of the IMPACTO Program. I remember one day Velvet called me saying she wanted to speak to me, little did i know her words would stick with me until this day. When I got to her office, she shared she had observed how my friends always followed me. She said I had very good leadership skills and that I should use them to better guide my friends. Those words were so simple but made such a big impact to my life. Participating in the IMPACTO program helped me with my social skills and prepared me for the real world and really helped me believe in myself. I've always asked myself why they named it IMPACTO but now I believe aside from the acronym it is because joining this program will make such a big impact on your whole life. Last year I had the opportunity of joining the Academic Case Management summer internship. The experience changed me more than what I expected. I made friends but it also made me realize the true value of the IMPACTO program. IMPACTO isn't just an educational, recreational program... It is home for many community children. It is a safe space where children grow. The internship gave me real life job experience."

We were excited to attend @brentwoodsunshine preschool’s gala last weekend where our Executive Director, Raquel Román, shared some words about the impact of our partnership. Over the past 6 years, our Early Childhood Education Centers have partnered with Brentwood Sunshine Preschool on shared activities to foster learning and connection between our students. We are grateful for the Sunshine parents that have supported our students and families through drives at thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween and throughout the year. Thank you @brentwoodsunshine for your partnership! “Our ties should be to be in communion with the disinherited, with their concerns and struggles” - Gustavo Gutiérrez
