Rainier Scholars

Rainier Scholars cultivates the academic potential and leadership skills of hardworking, underrepresented students of color. They offer a pathway to college graduation for Seattle-area low-income students of color by providing access to transformative educational opportunities. Scholars engage in a proven, 12-year model that brings together the academic preparation, leadership development and personalized support they need to graduate from a four-year college and become career professionals and leaders in our community. (Adapted from Rainier Scholars)

I had the privilege of working with many scholars during my years as a middle school art and leadership teacher at a Rainier Scholars partner school. Witnessing the resiliency, creativity and leadership of these students during a small part of their journey to academic and professional success places Rainier Scholars as a local organization close to my heart.

Refugee Women's Alliance

Refugee Women's Alliance is a Seattle nonprofit serving local refugee and immigrant women and their families. ReWA works to help the refugee and immigrant community to thrive through services to assist with integration, self-sufficiency and stabilization, including language proficiency and employment assistance. (Adapted from ReWA)

ReWA was one of the first organizations Yardia fundraised for in 2017, and I'm so happy to be able to be able to now support this nonprofit on a consistent basis through Yardia.
