Christian Avalos, Impact Academy
College: University of California, Davis

Christian is Impact Academy’s 2018 winner of the Jackie Robinson Scholarship Award.

Christian is a student who consistently works hard and excels in everything he does, as evidenced in his 12th Grade Portfolio Defense which he passed with excellence and distinction.

Even more impressive, though, is his desire to make change. This year, he helped to found and lead Impact’s Environmental Committee, giving hours and hours to leading students and families in beautifying our campus, a benefit we will continue to enjoy for years to come. In April, he organized Impact’s first Week of Civic Action, coordinating voter registration efforts and even inviting a Hayward city councilman to come to speak with students. Christian truly exemplifies the Jackie Robinson spirit of service and leadership. Next year, he will continue to lead and inspire his community at the University of California, Davis.

ABOUT THE JACKIE ROBINSON SCHOLARSHIP
Each year, the Jackie Robinson Scholarship Award of $1000 is given to one graduate from each Envision school who exemplifies Jackie Robinson’s commitment to service and excellence.  Mr. Robinson did more than break the color barrier in Major League Baseball: he was also the first in his family to graduate from college; he served his country in World War II; and he worked as a powerful civil rights advocate.  To be awarded this scholarship, students must:

 

  • Be first in their family to go to college;
  • Deliver an outstanding graduation Portfolio and Defense;
  • Exemplify a commitment to service and leadership;
  • Plan on attending a 4-year college or university in the fall after graduation.
