Update from CCSF!

Keyla CCSF Advocate Label II[1]

Dear E4FC Crew,

Hope you are all doing well. I have an update from a past event I organized at City College of San Francisco (Ocean Campus).

I organized the first student-run training for CCSF counselors and faculty about AB540/undocumented students. It was the first time I organized an event of this kind, and I felt proud of myself. I would like to enormously thank Perla, my S4FC advisor, for going beyond her role as advisor, not only during the preparation of the event, but also afterward. I also want to thank Kathy for providing me the opportunity to be part of the E4FC Crew and be able to access to all the networks and resources as a Student Ambassador. Also, I want to thank  Beleza for her always supporting words. And thank you to Andrea for coming from SFSU, and to Ingrid for coming all the way from Stanford in order to give their testimonies.

The event lasted two hours and went pretty smoothly. All the people who attended became interesting in learning more about undocumented students’ issues and left the event willing to provide their support  in the future. The student testimonies really impacted them, as I saw at least two counselors crying.

The image I attached is the sticker I designed for CCSF counselors. The stickers will be kept posted in counselors’ office doors, guaranteeing that future undocumented students will feel empowered to ask for help.

Thanks for all your support E4FC!
