NPIEN Sustaining Membership Drive

The National Pacific Islander Educator Network (NPIEN) of Lakewood, CA wil be holding its Annual Sustaining Membership Drive from March 16-May 19, 2009.

Why should you support NPIEN?

• NPIEN is a Pacific Islander education organization that encourages students to go to college. We are all teachers and school professionals who work with Pacific Islander students.
• Since only one out of ten Pacific Islander youth graduate from college, your support is extremely important. Together we can reverse this trend.
• NPIEN is one of the only educational organizations dedicated to help improve the future of Pacific Islander students. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
• NPIEN members visit elementary, middle, and high schools as guest speakers and role models.
• NPIEN’s goal is to raise funds annually to provide mini-grants and scholarships for Pacific Islander students.
• NPIEN board members speak at academic conferences and community events to instruct the community at-large about the obstacles keeping Pacific Islander youth from achieving their dreams

You can support us with a minimum donation of $25. For further information contact us at npien.mail@verizon.net or www.npien.com or (562) 496-2319
