The My Neighborhood News Network has initiated a partnership with the House of Wisdom, a nonprofit that supports immigrant students in Lynnwood. This collaboration will feature students and tutors monthly, focusing on their aspirations and achievements. In April, Jacob, a sixth grader who enjoys math, and Yoel, a history and English Language Arts student, are highlighted. Tutors Kiet, an aspiring nurse, and Tarak, a future aerospace engineer, contribute their time and knowledge to help students thrive. The House of Wisdom plays a vital role in the community by providing educational support and fostering a sense of belonging.

This initiative not only showcases individual stories but also emphasizes the value of mentorship in education. The program aims to inspire local youth to pursue their dreams and build confidence in their abilities. Engaging the community in such efforts can lead to increased awareness and support for immigrant families.
