Even as summer wound down and ÓÅÃÛÊÓƵ programs came to a close, August was a month of fun and community. Take a look at some of the highlights, in further detail below the video:

After eight days of community and balance, Yunasa campers sadly said farewell to friends both new and old as camp concluded at the beginning of the month.

Staff members represented ÓÅÃÛÊÓƵ at two concerts at the Levitt Pavilion Pasadena to spread the word about ÓÅÃÛÊÓƵ in the community.

The team interviewed Finalists in Chicago, Indianapolis, New York, Boston, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The announcement of the 2015 Caroline D. Bradley Scholars is imminent!

campers Sultan and Saad, along with their siblings Afifa and Zoeya, organized a performance in their hometown to raise money for Yunasa!

We concluded filming for our new ÓÅÃÛÊÓƵ video with interviews in San Francisco. Stay tuned for the final cut!

The summer ended with a bang as children, parents, and staff from across the ÓÅÃÛÊÓƵ community gathered at The Barder House for the ÓÅÃÛÊÓƵ End of Summer Family Soiree.

Have news to share? Please send the community member’s name and affiliation with ÓÅÃÛÊÓƵ along with a photo or video to ÓÅÃÛÊÓƵgifted@educationaladvancement.org. We’d love to showcase your milestones, accomplishments, and interests with the rest of the ÓÅÃÛÊÓƵ community!
