Partner Spotlight: USC Latino Alumni Association

This year, PLUS ME is proud to partner with the University of Southern California Latino Alumni Association.

In August, PLUS ME Founder + Executive Director had the opportunity to share his story with over 250 of this year's USCLAA scholarship recipients during their Fall Retreat. After listening to Richard's story, students dispersed into 8 break out rooms where PLUS ME facilitators led the students through various storytelling exercises to help foster connection among the scholars.

Here are some quotes from the USC scholars that highlight what they learned from the experience:
 

"I learned how valuable it is to reflect on my own story."

"I learned to live my life with a little more grace for others."

"I learned that I wasn't alone in the struggle."

We look forward to returning in the Spring to deepen the work with these scholars. Congratulations to all the scholarship recipients and special thanks to the USC Latino Alumni Association team for all your support.
