Marce Becerra Academy

Just closed out our final Senior Exhibitions!!! Such a bittersweet moment for our Seniors and their families.🎉

Each exhibition reflected the authentic journey, growth, and learning experience of every student. They were powerful, engaging, inspiring, and a true representation of who our students are becoming.

We want to give a huge thank you to all of our community partners who helped mold and shape our students throughout this year.

Thank you for creating opportunities that allowed our students to experience new environments, build community, strengthen relationships, and grow into future leaders.

We are beyond proud and cannot wait to celebrate the Class of 2026 tomorrow evening!🎉🎉🎉

This weekend was more than just a program, it was growth, healing, leadership, and empowerment.

We are incredibly proud of our MBA student Daydrien who completed the first Rising Nations program. Through culture, community, and self-awareness, students were reminded of their strength, purpose, and the importance of lifting each other up.

The impact this experience had on our youth was beautiful to witness. These young people are our future leaders, and spaces like this help them realize their potential and power.

Thank you to Gio, Madonna, Donald, and all the Rising Nations leaders for believing in our youth and creating opportunities that inspire lasting change. We cannot wait to see more students become part of this incredible journey.

If you have Indigenous youth ages 14–18, please connect with for future programs and opportunities!!

Nothing like learning straight from the community!

Marce Becerra Academy welcomed 6 amazing guests from Sonoma County’s lowrider culture, giving students the chance to connect, learn, and experience the passion behind the movement firsthand.

We appreciate Sonja Vazquez, Rudy Campos, Jorge Flores, Jessica, Frank, and Stephanie for pouring into our students and inspiring them through your stories.

This is what MBA is all about!! Building strong connections through community & culture!

One of our amazing Marce Becerra students, took a vision and turned it into reality!! Designing three custom cutting boards from start to finish. Every step, every detail, tracked and executed with intention.
From cutting and gluing, to planing, sanding, and perfecting each edge, this project reflects more than skill. It shows dedication, patience, creativity, and pride in the process.
There were challenges along the way, but he adapted, refined, and kept going… and the end result? Beautiful, high-quality boards made with purpose.

Some words from our amazing student:
“Grateful for every purchase, each board is crafted with intention, durability, and everyday use in mind. Thank you for supporting my work.”- Yahir

This is what growth looks like. This is what future success looks like!!

Marce Becerra Academy thanks you all for your unconditional support and advocacy!
We are a one student at a time program and our students continue to shine.
From photobooths to face painting, cutting boards, flowers, and açaí bowls… their talents were on full display!
