NPIEN Sustaining Membership Drive

On behalf of the National Pacific Islander Educator Network (NPIEN), We would like to thank you for your past support of our organization. The months of February, March, April, and May are dedicated to our Annual Sustaining Membership Drive (ASMD).

 NPIEN is a Pacific Islander education organization that encourages students to go to college. We are all educators and 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
 The 9th NPIEN annual conference, to be November 13, 2010 at Artesia High School, Lalewood, CA, is a community gathering attended by over 300 parents, students, teachers, and community members – to improve college and career opportunities and introduce students to positive Pacific Islander mentors.

Your donation supports the annual conference, mentoring visits to schools, and provides grants and scholarships to students. By making a minimum $30 donation/pledge today, and no later than May 1, 2010, your conference registration is also included at a $10 discount.
