Our
History
In 2011, Neyda Yaneth, a passionate Fremont High School alumna saw a profound need for Alumni at her alma mater to serve as role models; and the importance to heightened awareness of higher education to change the path of the narrative of youth raised in South Central Los Angeles. Motivated by this vision, Neyda spearheaded the creation of the Fremont High School Alumni Foundation, gathering fellow alumni to help establish what would soon become a messenger of hope to Fremont youth. By 2014, through the tireless efforts of dedicated alumni including Jorge Hernandez, Luis Cabrales, Pablo Mejia, Maria Bautista, Ana Hinds, and founder Neyda Yaneth, the foundation was formally recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
