Scholarship Winner Is Making a Difference

Maricarmen Reyes received a La Luz Scholarship when she graduated from Sonoma Valley High in 2000. We knew she would go far and we were right! Mari graduated from Sonoma State in 2005 with a B.A. in Chicano and Latino Studies.

During her college career and since, she has taught migrant students, helped with newcomers’ classes, served on the steering committee for the grassroots community group Nuestra Voz, worked with at-risk youth in Santa Rosa, for La Luz Center and Vineyard Workers Services.

Says Mari, “I have come to love Social Service… and the work of nonprofits.I look forward to being of use to La Luz Center and the community of Sonoma Valley.”

Maricarmen is gathering speed for her next adventure: graduate work for a degree in nonprofit administration. We know that she will achieve anything she aims for and we are especially proud that La Luz helped make that possible.
