MUAP – EP 28 w/ Guest Aicha & Alexander Reyes from the Oyate Group
In this week’s episode, we speak with Aicha & Alexander Reyes from the Oyate Group out of New York City. Aicha & Alexander were both participants in the Beyond Rising program. Alexander now works for the Oyate Group helping students from the freshman high school level to freshman in college, like Aicha who is dealing with an undocumented status, to find resources, job skills, and opportunities. We hear from Aicha about how the program helped her find a summer job and resources for attending college to be a lawyer. As well as Alexander’s experience when he went through the program and how Oyate Group wants to help even more students!
