I.M.O.W. and Dolores Huerta Visit Stiles Hall in Berkeley Huerta inspires a group of at-risk youth

Huerta with B.S.C. students, who gave her flowers and a commemorative certificate

As part of our on-going commitment to reach out to our community, IMOW facilitated an event with Dolores Huerta at Stiles Hall in Berkeley last Tuesday, July 21. Huerta joined us, along with Global Council member Pat Martel, to speak to 15 students from Berkeley Scholars to Cal (B.S.C.), a program which gives at-risk minority youth the tools to pursue a college education by providing them with mentors and academic support from 5th to 12th grade. The students' enthusiasm was evident throughout her inspiring talk about community organization and the fight for social justice. Afterwards, Huerta chatted and posed for pictures with the students, many of whom wanted a photo and an autograph as a keepsake. We are deeply grateful to Stiles Hall, B.S.C. and Dolores Huerta for making this event possible. To get a behind-the-scenes look at Dolores' visit with I.M.O.W., be sure to check out our most recent blog.
