Evelyn De La Garza has been serving in the Pleasant Grove community since 2014. Evelyn is the first generation in her family to attend a University and currently holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Dallas. She began volunteering at community events through her local church and in 2019, she was awarded a community service recognition from the SEDHCC for her service and assistance in the Pleasant Grove Campus and her participation in the Cinco de Mayo Annual Parade. One of the quotes she lives by is this: “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Evelyn is committed and determined to serve, lead, and create better network opportunities for the young adults living in the local area because she is assertive that it is the small steps that will build a brighter future for the youth in Pleasant Grove.
