"I have used the program for over 10 years. Some of our students who are reluctant to engage in class need something more interactive, and this provides a great alternative learning experience. Thank you again!"

-Jacklyn B., educator at Thomas Jefferson HS

"I love coming back to help to provide my experience because I wish I had this opportunity when I was in high school. Having people provide their own personal tips and tricks makes everything so much more real."

Jada M., volunteer from Travelers Insurance

"This trip really made me rethink some of my life decisions. My volunteer taught me if you don’t have discipline, you won’t have anything."

-10th grade student, Cristo Rey Richmond HS
