Meet Edwin!
Edwin Burgos Perez, Oakland Promise Scholar
NCCPC Operations Intern Fall 2021

As a senior I’m studying Ethnic Studies and Society & Environment, and as an NCCPC intern I’m hoping to strengthen my skills to become a better agent of change. Learning how to effectively and efficiently familiarize myself with more networks/organizations for college readiness working towards college readiness.
Being born and raised in Oakland, Ca I hope I can contribute back an informative perspective that encompasses the work and struggles of pursuing higher education as a Bay Area student. I’m currently doing research on Oakland’s low access to food( as it is a food desert) and what it takes to ensure food justice to the Oakland community.
As of now I am most excited to learn and be a part of new experiences, and make meaningful memories of those who are influential and positive in my life. Fun fact I travelled to Cambodia when I was seventeen years old, and I am a self taught makeup artist.
