Edu-Futuro is very proud to share the news that Edu-Family 2024 was a great success, becoming one of the best-attended events in the 25-year history of our organization.
In total, more than 400 students, parents, volunteers, and staff joined us for a full day of educational activities this past Saturday, July 13, 2024. Edu-Family 2024 would not have been possible without the partnership of Marymount University, and the support of Joseph "Joe" Tubman, Marymount Conference Center Manager, as well as Evan Lipp, Associate Vice President for Enrollment at the university. We are also extremely grateful to all our staff, AmeriCorps members, and the many volunteers who provided invaluable help at all the workshops and learning stations we conducted throughout the day.
We want to hear from you!
