Program Impact:

“I truly appreciate how much Assistance League has done for me, both as a student at San Pasqual Academy and Humboldt State University.  It really means a lot to know people who are rooting for me to succeed and are proud of my accomplishments.  None of this would be possible without associations like yours.”
