Tara in the Neighborhood Episode 18 with Eva Perez

Tara in the Neighborhood

This podcast is about a nonprofit organization tasked with reducing drop out rates in our community. Eva shares a lifetime of experiences and stories about what it takes to reduce high school dropout rates. Many of us, take for granted graduating from high school but the reality is the "whole community" suffers when a member of the Valley does not graduate from high school. The effect of high school dropouts has both an economic effect and a social impact. Community in Schools takes a holistic approach involving the school administrators and teachers, the business community and parents to achieve a sustainable approach to create success in our community.
