August 2020 Newsletter





















Families across Los Angeles suffered tremendously as they continue to grapple with the disruption of COVID-19. Now, with the fall semester less than a week away, they — along with teachers and administrators — must adapt to distance learning as LAUSD, other school districts, and college campuses remain closed.

Since March, the Fulfillment Fund has been implementing new ways to provide essential college access and success services to our students. We fully transitioned to online support ensuring our students succesfully completed their spring semester amd remained engaged in their education. Our team conducted over 1,500 high school counseling sessions and 502 wellness checks with our college students. We launched a new student and parent portal <[link removed]> on our website, all while celebrating Decision Day for our high school seniors taking the next step as future college students, as well as graduation for our high school and college students.

This summer, to increase student and parent engagement, Fulfillment Fund launched its Virtual Summer Academy designed to extend learning and create social and emotional connections through three targeted programs:

*
Virtual College Access Boot Camp
*
Summer Enrichment Series
*
Parent Institute

These programs continue to reach our students and their parents to nurture trust relationships by making every effort to communicate with them directly to keep them connected to the school community. Our Virtual Summer Academy also serves as continuous feedback to help this Fall semester as we transition all of our programs to deliver our important services, content, and skills in the new virtual learning world.

We're excited to share with you all of the new ways we'll be working with students to make their dreams of attending and graduating college a reality. Follow us as double down on our efforts and begin to scale our impact in this new landscape.

As we head into completely virtual semester ahead of us, Fulfillment Fund has made some changes to make sure our students continue to get the attention and tools they need to succeed on their paths to obtaining a college degree. We are re-thinking our paradigm in service delivery to meet our students needs today and to better serve our community in a post-pandemic world.

Fulfillment Fund University

Our annual orientation for incoming college freshman, meant to combat summer melt, offers workshops and activities to provide students with the tools to succeed in college and thrive after graduation. This summer’s virtual conference took place on three different days and had even greater impact as more students face failing to matriculate to college in the fall.
