From the Canal to College, and Now Back in the Community

In 2021, the SF Chronicle spotlight led the Canal community of San Rafael for being the "most segregated neighborhood in the Bay Area." This upcoming talk welcomes Next Generation Scholars, a nationally-recognized educational non-profit, which empowers Marin's first-generation youth into college and into their careers. 

Joining Mr. Bui online will be an alumnus, Jorge Hernandez, a current resident of the Canal who will share his deep insights into the community, sharing his own journey of struggle and triumph, delving deeper and beyond the headline. 

A Marin County native, Malaysian refugee-born, NGS Program student and now Executive Director, Nghiem Bui (nim boo-ee) looks forward to sharing his story from San Rafael's public housing to college graduation; and now back in the community serving as one of our educational leaders.
