Oscar co-leads a club called Immigrants on the Rise and during his time at Brio he has organized demonstrations and rallies his classmates around issues and courses that aim to support immigrants in the US. He connects students with service opportunities, models social activism and aims to develop other student leaders at school so that his social causes can continue even after he graduates.

Dayana has been an active volunteer for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) and its affiliates. She has volunteered at events in the community where Mexican families living in Los Angeles have been reunited with the 3rd generation living in Mexico. She has provided logistic support during the events, as well as been instrumental in recruiting other student leaders from our school. 

Danna is a lovely force of positivity in and outside the classroom, even with our current remote setting! Not only do I see her engage and participate in class, qualities few student leaders have exhibited especially during this virtual setting, but she also encourages her peers. Whenever she sees one of her classmates participate or offer great insight, Danna the majority of the times will be the first to applaud her classmate which sets off a chain reaction of a positive and encouraging learning environment. 

Luna has been very dedicated to her academics, always attending classes and submitting all of her assignments. All of her teachers have positively commented on her participation and performance. Luna has been really helpful in facilitating peer discussions and participation in online classes. She is very responsive to questions and will volunteer to help. This sets a strong precedent for her fellow students and the mastery of her work has been a great student model as well.
