Barrio Logan College Institute helps low-income youth starting in the 3rd grade prepare to be the first in their family to attend college and then help their alumni to succeed once there. I have been involved with BLCI for over 13 years as a funder, donor, volunteer, consultant, advocate, and a friend. During this time, the organization has grown, stumbled, and now it is thriving. There programs show result -- their first grad went to Yale and graduted in 3 years! Since then, youth have attended colleges through out the United States and have recieved many scholarships including one who received the Gates Millenial Scholarship. The organization is sound; its Board dedicated and well engaged; and its staff amazing. They have had several executive directors and each transition has been smooth because its leadership is true shared leadership. I have shared this organization with many others and most have become involved either as a Board member, donor, mentor, funder, and/or advocate. Thank you BLCI for all you do!
