Telling EVC's Story

The Honda PACT program prepares you for a career and is very rewarding.

Manny De La Rosa Honda PACT Alum

I hated school, and the only reason I went back to school was to do my mom a favor (he ended up earning a Masters and Ph.D. because of EVC)

Dr. Tai Faaleava Alumni with a Ph.D. in Psychology

I think when the younger players at the club see Natalia as someone who carries herself with respect and a player that works extremely hard to get where she's at.
