San Mateo Adult School Honored for Census Ambassador Program
The San Mateo Adult and Career Education (San Mateo Adult School) was recently honored with an EL Civics/IELCE: Making A Difference In the Community Award by
CASAS.
This award recognizes EL Civics agencies that teach the skills required to access the community, attain citizenship and empower students to take the initiative to make a difference in their communities.
The training program,
in partnership with the County of San Mateo County Manager's Office and Census 2020 team,
was developed to help students identify problems, devise solutions, implement a plan of action and be a resource for making sure everyone in the community is counted in Census 2020. Students in the program demonstrated strategies to work well together, communicate effectively, contribute to the group effort, teach each other new skills, collaborate, be diplomatic, and work well with each person on the team, all of whom were from diverse backgrounds (Guatemala, China, Brazil, Fiji, and Russia).

Former Capuchino High School Students Establish Anti-Racism Project
 Former Capuchino High School students, many of whom also went on the Sojourn to the Past trip, recently founded an anti-racism educational endeavor called Reform Revolution Project.
The group' recently launched its website, blog and Instagram account.
The project was also profiled in a
podcast
, listen to learn more about the project from the young people who founded and are orchestrating the project.
The Reform Revolution Project (RRP) believes that through the power of accessible education, everyone has the potential to face the realities of racism, learn about social justice, and dismantle white supremacy from the ground up. There is no longer an excuse or room for ignorance in our society. Adopting a growth mindset is for everyone - we hope to provide resources and practical tools to help you educate yourself, educate others, learn how to be actively anti-racist, and understand the importance of participation through activism and engaging in civic duties. Created for lifelong learners, by lifelong learners.
For inquiries or questions, please email
reformrevolutionproject@gmail.com.
CHS Social Studies Teacher and Sojourn to the Past Adviser Alicia Vosberg served as a mentor to the students and had this to say, "As their mentor, I am so incredibly proud and blown away by their professionalism, empathy, passion, and sheer brilliance. This project is a testament to the power and immediacy of the Sojourn to the Past program"
