Saying farewell to Prudence
Prudence Browne came to Yollocalli through Columbia College's Arts in Youth and Community Development graduate program. She worked hard everyday for almost two years as Yollocalli's College/Career Counselor. With tears in our eyes, we watch her continue her studies at UIC's Curriculum and Instruction program with the intent to focus on Arts Curriculum and Policy. Prudence leaves us with these last words, "Thank you Yollocalli, for a wonderful work experience. On my last day here, I am both sad to go and yet so hopeful for the students and families I've met, for their dreams and for their futures." We will miss you at the building, but we know we will see you around.
Yollocalli students receive full scholarships
Thanks to National Luis University and the Elizabeth Harrison Fellowship, Jessica Salgado, Frissia Sanchez, and Lorena Bravo each received a 4-year scholarship in Elementary Education. We are very proud of these amazing Yollocalli students and are excited for them and their families. Special thanks to Prudence Browne for helping these amazing students with the application process.
