Resource Team Updates - May 2011

SVP’s Resource Teams have been hard at work! The Resource Teams assist our Investees as well as other nonprofits in San Diego to achieve performance targets and desired outcomes in key capacity building areas. If you have experience in a particular area or would like to learn more about a particular area, consider joining a team. The time commitment is up to you. It can be as easy as a 2 hour brainstorming meeting or a more in-depth 3 month project – you determine how you’d like to get involved based on your interests and availability. If you’re interested in learning more, please contact Peggy at peggy@sdsvp.org. To see a detailed description of the services offered by each team, please click here.

Excellence and Justice in Education (EJE)

Excellence and Justice in Education (EJE) assists Hispanic, low-income parents to become strong advocates for their children to increase academic achievement and prepare them for college.

EJE’s success with parents and their children is evident in the results of students’ test scores, reported in San Diego State University’s independent study of EJE’s student achievement. The study shows these children scored higher in all subjects than the general Hispanic population and about equal to the student population at large. Executive Director Eva Pacheco has been honored for her achievement in the Lemon Grove school district and East County.

SDSVP Lead Partner, Jerry Hoffmeister advises the EJE Board and is a trustee of EJE Elementary Academy, their charter school.

Testimonials:

“When I look back upon this past year and the countless blessings I’ve been fortunate enough
to receive, I count on you as one of those blessings. Your trust in us never wavered, and your
mentorship added significantly to the growth of EJE. My appreciation for your help and support is never taken lightly. Your partnership and support made me realize that, by working together, we can do things we never dreamed possible.”

Eva Pacheco, Executive Director EJE

“EJE taught me organizational skills, public speaking and how to run a successful
business meeting.”
