En lenguaje claro
This Senate resolution honors Raising Expectations, a nonprofit co-founded by Maria Armstrong and Tangee Allen, as it marks 30 years of community service. The resolution describes the organization's work serving more than 3,500 youth, all of whom qualify for free or reduced price meals and are first-generation college students, through academic, leadership, and college-to-career programs that follow students from middle school through college and into the workforce. The resolution also notes enrichment programs such as the Summer Pathfinder Workforce Programs, the Real Estate Enrichment Program, Take a Student to College Day, and literacy initiatives. It does not create any new law, funding, or requirement. It simply has the Senate formally congratulate the organization and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send it a copy of the resolution.
