Dear Prospective Sponsor,
By supporting the AVID Strides for Education Eugene 4J 6K, you’ll be helping students on their journey to a successful college education and career, especially those who will be first generation college students. Proceeds will help fund two important elements of the AVID student experience:
• AVID College Tutors: Twice each week, AVID classes engage with college students who facilitate small collaborative study groups, focusing on higher level questions that AVID students generate from their academic classes. Dollars you provide are matched by federally funded UO work study dollars, so you get a double bang for your contribution.
• AVID College Visits: Every year, beginning in 7th grade, AVID classes visit college campuses in Eugene and across the state of Oregon, to heighten their level of aspiration for higher education while helping them to discern what kind of college would suit them. Most AVID students are first generation college students and these experiences help build a college going culture that is one key to success.
