Mensaje de despedida del Director Ejecutivo, Mario González

Es con gran tristeza que les comparto que mi etapa como Director Ejecutivo de la Fundación Educación y Liderazgo (ELF) llegará a su fin el viernes 11 de septiembre de 2026. Tomar la decisión de partir ha sido una de las más difíciles de mi carrera, y quería compartir esta noticia personalmente con ustedes.

Desde que me uní a ELF, he tenido el privilegio de trabajar junto a un equipo comprometido y dedicado. Juntos hemos fortalecido y hecho crecer la organización, manteniéndonos siempre fieles a nuestro compromiso con los estudiantes, las personas y las familias a quienes servimos. Me siento orgulloso de todo lo que hemos logrado y agradecido por las lecciones aprendidas a lo largo de este camino.

Los animo a seguir apoyando, colaborando y creyendo en ELF y en su misión de brindar oportunidades y empoderar a las comunidades históricamente subrepresentadas.

Gracias por su colaboración, su confianza y su compromiso.

On Sunday, August 16, ELF awarded 42 college students in our Empowerment Fellowship Program with $1,000 scholarships to help them start the new school year on a high note. During the event, fellows and their families were inspired by moving remarks from FCOE Board Trustee Itzi Robles and Pedro Ramirez, co-founder of the Central Valley Workers Center.

This would not have been possible without the support of sponsors, and we want to take a moment to thank them for believing in and investing in the future leaders of our communities

El domingo 16 de agosto, ELF otorgó becas de $1,000 dólares a 42 estudiantes universitarios de nuestro Empowerment Fellowship para ayudarles a comenzar el nuevo año escolar. Durante el evento, los becarios y sus familias pudieron disfrutar y sentirse inspirados por las conmovedoras palabras de Itzi Robles, miembra de la Junta Directiva de la FCOE, y de Pedro Ramírez, cofundador del Centro de Trabajadores del Valle Central.

Esto no habría sido posible sin el apoyo de los patrocinadores, y queremos dedicar un momento a darles las gracias por creer e invertir en los futuros líderes de nuestras comunidades:
