Mission College Admission comes to the aid of the Sikh youth
WSN Network

FREMONT: Mission: College Admission (MCA), an initiative aimed at helping the Sikh children attain higher education and increase success rate has brought to the community an awareness event titled The Importance of a College Education. With the punchline that "College has become the new high school", the volunteers will be having an interaction with interested participants at Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Hall at the Gurdwara Sahib, Fremont on Saturday, August 29, 2009 between 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm. Parents of school-aged are encouraged to attend.

The current educational outlook for the Sikh community is devastatingly bleak: a crisis is besetting our community. Our Sikh children are not succeeding in their secondary-level education and those who are graduating from high school are not making it to college.

The effects on their futures, families, and the community are countless and catastrophic. Without a doubt, parents play an instrumental role in the academic success of their children. As such, Mission: College Admission (MCA), an organization working to increase enrollment of Sikh students in higher education institutions, invites parents and community members to hear more about the Sikh Education Crisis and how and what we can do as a community to motivate and propel our children to academic success!

For more information or to inquire about volunteer opportunities, please contact:

Mission: College Admission (MCA) is a non-profit organization founded by Sikh students from Stanford

University in Palo Alto, California and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
