Pioneers for H.O.P.E
Pioneers for H.O.P.E (Helping Our Pioneers Excel) California State University, East Bay's new intervention program will address the Chancellor's food and housing security initiatives to include wide-ranging efforts to immediately serve some of our most-at risk students facing homelessness, food insecurity, and other various crisis situations.
"After a few months of being in this role, one of my students shared a very powerful reflection on what this program has done. It was regular follow up meeting with a student that was facing food insecurities, homeless and dealing with other mental health hardships. I checked in and asked how things were going because the student looked very excited and energized which was a different presentation than previously. The student shared the help has given them hope to live through another day and hope to achieve the dream of graduating with a college degree." - Alex Baker, Founding Case Manager
