Having worked with Sanai Anang for over a year, I’m well acquainted with the intentions and goals of these projects. I feel they foster complimentary service outcomes for participating Fairhaven students and serves as a bridge for scholars between college and their industry of choice. I believe it will build positive professional relationships between our graduates and the local communities of Whatcom, Skagit, and King County.” — Jack Herring, Vice Provost Western Washington University https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcd9649f187a52353f1507/1595466331161-DLS0YR9VHAEUAEHVCALV/SE6A1649+copy+2.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcd9649f187a52353f1507/1597882445863-PDP2TMPN67ZZ7GOO60QD/SE6A1663.jpg About - Up next, we are partnering with select school districts to support high school students in their future aspirations. The SYEP program in Seattle, which our founder participated while in high school, provided a good model to follow with this program. The Seattle Youth Employment Program (SYEP) supports young people (ages 16 to 24) from qualifying-income households and communities that experience racial, social, and economic disparities. The goal is to increase youth and young adults' ability to pursue careers that pay well and are meaningful to them. It currently is forced to use a lottery system to choose participants due to massive demand. These types of programs are extremely popular and provide a valuable resource to communities to allow internships that would usually not be paid to be subsidized by the local government. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcd9649f187a52353f1507/1597882264434-ART9ZC0KSI4DYXQLTLZG/SE6A1641+copy.jpg About According to NACE’s 2019 Internship and Co-op Survey Report, only 60.8% of internships are paid. The opportunity for students to gain valuable work-based learning experiences are missed by those most disenfranchised in our communities by long-standing systems inequality. Many lower income students cannot afford the lost wages incurred by taking an unpaid internship in hopes of a future higher paying job. https://www.communityreconstruction.org/contact daily 0.75 2020-08-12 https://www.communityreconstruction.org/home daily 1.0 2022-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcd9649f187a52353f1507/644dd0c4-7e0e-4e78-b9d5-50634b1e91ac/CRC+map+image_6487327.JPG Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.communityreconstruction.org/donate daily 0.75 2020-10-14 https://www.communityreconstruction.org/our-team daily 0.75 2022-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcd9649f187a52353f1507/1597884325905-3VXVR66DGS3RLPALHG6C/SE6A8145+copy.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcd9649f187a52353f1507/1613609861352-ZQR7BNN8XSZ8JQZLIGWH/30A92969-1.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcd9649f187a52353f1507/1597883221140-QN1S1XZM63TXBSAIQD2G/SE6A1554.jpg Our team https://www.communityreconstruction.org/programs daily 0.75 2025-09-24 https://www.communityreconstruction.org/programs-1 daily 0.75 2025-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcd9649f187a52353f1507/a695c22a-9e9d-41bc-bd98-ff9325d9c1d6/IMG_3436.jpg Recent Programs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcd9649f187a52353f1507/2a529e23-8f7a-41eb-809c-d7f5bb1a2dd0/vecteezy_ai-generated-paint-brushes-and-palette-with-colorful-paints_36196070.jpg Recent Programs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcd9649f187a52353f1507/68299f41-286f-454c-9e4e-fbafe5ad5c84/20230603_162042+%281%29.jpg Recent Programs - Are cash stipends important to learning about financial literacy to youth?

I found my way to higher education as a thirty-five year old single mom trying to make a better life for myself and my son. I am a first-generation college student with a background of addiction and low socioeconomic standing, which certainly aided in my decision to apply to the Human Services program offered by the Woodring School at Western Washington University. I will graduate with my undergrad degree at the end of Winter quarter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcd9649f187a52353f1507/4c9e9151-a0b7-4505-8a1a-5607b4a40df2/SE6A1997.jpg Past Programs - Make it stand out My name is Julie Rivera-Hernandez, and I am a first-generation student.
