Each one of us can do something to help others . For me , it is being on the board of the Monarch School . Every time you meet a Monarch student , you are immediately inspired to do everything that you can to help its students dream big about their future with the guidance and encouragement of the teachers , staff , donors , and a very dedicated community of supporters .” -- Caroline Winn , San Diego Gas & Electric CEO
To date during the pandemic , Monarch has hosted more than 35 days of socially distanced on-campus distributions to provide resources and connect with students , their families and alumni . Each family has connected with a dedicated caseworker at Monarch to help them access community resources , problem solve , and stay informed with up-to-date health and education information .
Community support plays an essential role in enabling Monarch to serve all the needs of its students and families experiencing homelessness .
Even when circumstances are daunting , our Monarch community remains hopeful and optimistic about our future because we know we are not alone . The support we have received from SDG & E and other partners ensures our students have the resources they need to keep learning and growing .” -- Afira DeVries , Monarch School President and CEO
