“My name is Jonathan Fung, and I am an immigration attorney and a board member of Upward Bound Study Center. The reason I value UBSC so much as an organization is because they foster a sense of community and belonging not only for immigrant students, but also their parents. My grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Hong Kong in the 1960s, and the most important reason my parents and I were able to thrive in this country is because they were also welcomed into the community and cared for by their neighbors. I believe that UBSC is doing the most important work – sharing hospitality with newcomers and investing into future generations of caring and generous Americans!”

I would like to thank all the donors for providing us with more learning opportunities. I believe those who study here will cherish the opportunities that you are providing us. No matter how much you give, I am very grateful. Even if you donate very little, we will thank you for every penny you donate and hope that we can study hard. I believe that every student will thank you for the opportunity you provide us and study hard so that you will not let down every penny you donated.

After 400 days of online classes and 60 days of hybrid learning classes, 56% of students returned to Upward Bound Study Center (UBSC) for an in-person class setting. During the hybrid learning classes trial, students attended the in-person classes twice a week and online classes for the rest of the week. For the center reopening, UBSC is hosting the annual fundraising drive requesting your continual support as we continue to serve the San Gabriel immigrant community.
