Our Impact
To Mr. Lê, our funder and executive director:
"I just wanted to say I feel inspired to see you do great things and the things that you love. I enjoy watching you succeed and keep moving forward. I also wanted to thank you for supporting me back when I was a community college student at LBCC and through the LB3 program at CSULB. It may not seem like it but if it weren't for you and the program, I wouldn't have known science and research was for me, and I would have probably dropped out of community college. You helped spark my career and allowed me to propel forward in my academic journey, and also believe in myself, which is a huge issue among first-generation and low-income students."
-Kenny Calderón-Godinez

"I learned my true personality." -Kahoni
"I learned how to be a leader." -Dakota
