Why AVID?
AVID elementary students teach us about the benefits of the AVID program in their personal studies and career goals.
"People like me don't go to college." "Nobody's ever gonna convince me that I am going to be somebody someday"... There are students out there who once believed these statements and felt there was nothing they could do. Learn the difference AVID can make. AVID is here for you and can help you get to college and be who you want.
