Welcome to the Good Tidings Podcast with host, Larry Harper, Founder of the Good Tidings Foundation. On today’s episode, Larry interviews Founder of Eastside College Preparatory, Chris Bischof. Larry and Chris start off by discussing Chris’ lifelong passion for education. While an undergrad student at Stanford, he felt drawn to the East Palo Alto community. He first started his outreach there by running an afterschool program called Shoot for the Stars. This passion increased and led Chris to founding Eastside College Preparatory. What first started with 9 students on a park bench has grown into an over 5-acre campus with state-of-the-art school facilities, resources, and on-campus dorms for students. Larry and Chris end the conversation by reflecting on a decade’s long partnership between the Good Tidings Foundation and Eastside Prep and how they plan to continue partnering in the future.
