Testimonials from High School Students

“I really loved being in this program and I hope I can return next year. The Mentors gave me hope in reaching my dream of being a Psychologist and no matter what challenges I face; I am capable of reaching my goals.”

“I now feel very empowered and proud to be a girl! I feel much happier to know there are others that felt like I did, and we are not alone.”

“I now have a better understanding of how to reach my goals without giving up so easily.”

“I was unsure on what I want to do after I graduate, and my mentors helped me to understand this is not a bad thing. They shared some thoughts and now I feel more confident. I may look into attending a trade school after I graduate.”
