As part of our efforts to provide students with college-related access and support, students from Jefferson and Natomas Middle School recently attended a field trip to UC Davis and students from Discovery attended a field trip to UC Berkeley with our community partner, Improve Your Tomorrow (IYT). IYT is a non-profit organization that works with young men of color, who are currently underrepresented in higher education, and supports them with mentoring to strive towards attending a 4-year college. The students were able to tour the campuses, experience eating in the university dining hall, and attend a Cal Bears football game!
Meanwhile, three students from Inderkum and Natomas High School were selected by the IYT staff to attend an all-expense paid trip to tour Historically Black Colleges and Universities in Georgia and Alabama. The students were a part of a team of 20 students from schools within the Sacramento region and IYT staff.
