Justice Partner – Sequoia Adult School Scholars (SASS)

The Justice Partner for May is Sequoia Adult School Scholars (SASS)

Sequoia Adult School Scholars (SASS) empowers low income adults, mostly immigrants working minimum wage jobs, by providing them with financial support, tutoring, and other assistance so they can continue their education, get higher paying jobs, and serve as role models and advocates for their children.  In 2010, SASS provided financial assistance to help two ESL students attend community college. In spring 2017, close to 200 SASS recipients were enrolled in community college classes, a clear indication of the unmet need SASS fills.
