ANOTHER YEAR OF LIFE-CHANGING LEGACIES
Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
We are so proud of the record-breaking 141 seniors who walked the stage to graduate from our four partner high schools this month. These students have spent the last 4+ years building crucial character and life skills, fostering meaningful relationships, and preparing to become thriving contributors in their community.
Over the years, we have seen them grow physically, mentally and social-emotionally in their pursuit of the bright futures they desire and deserve. After overcoming immense obstacles such as poverty, violence, and inequality, they made it to the finish line, and we could not be prouder of this momentous achievement!
The school year may be over, but we still have tons of impact planned for summer break! Stay tuned to hear more about our upcoming summer programming, like our Summer Bridge program, where students will gain even more exposure to possible career paths and tools for future success.
HELP US CREATE LASTING IMPACT WITH OUR SPRING APPEAL
Your support has helped change the trajectory of these young lives. Thanks to you, we have been able to open doors and provide safe spaces for students to discover their limitless potential.
As they continue to pursue postsecondary success, we need your help to provide crucial support services to more underserved youth. When you give to our spring appeal, you can ensure that our students are supported with one-on-one mentoring, education, life skills, and future planning. Together, we can give these students the care and attention they need to pursue and achieve their goals.
