PALMER SCHOLARS EXISTS TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN POTENTIAL AND OPPORTUNITY.

We count on our annual Stand Up & Cheer event as our largest source of individual donations. The generosity of this community enables us to provide wrap-around support to underrepresented Pierce County young adults of color to overcome social, cultural, and financial barriers in their pursuit of higher education and family-wage careers.

​​

Thank you to everyone who showed up and showed out at Stand Up and Cheer! Your energy, generosity, and support mean the world to us and the young people we serve. 💛

Stay tuned—we’ll be sharing photos and highlights from the unforgettable evening soon!

 SUPPORT OUR MISSION TODAY!

Palmer Scholars acknowledges that our work is carried out on, and our office space is located within, occupied Coast Salish land, specifically that of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous peoples. To acknowledge this land is to recognize its longer history and our place in that history; it is to recognize these lands and waters and their significance for the peoples who lived and continue to live in this region, whose practices and spiritualties were and are tied to the land and the water, and whose lives continue to enrich and develop in relationship to the land, waters, and other inhabitants today.

 

We also pause to recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built.

We remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the U.S. from the African continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We also acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced, and undocumented peoples who contributed to the building of the country and continue to serve within our labor force. We acknowledge all unpaid care-giving labor.

 

To the people who contributed this immeasurable work and their descendants, we acknowledge our/their indelible mark on the spaces in which we operate today. It is our collective responsibility to critically interrogate these histories, to repair harm, and to honor, protect, and sustain this land.
