Q

Hear what some of the 2024 Summer cohort shared about their experience!

A

I believe this program was executed greatly as we gained much-needed information from the weekly meetings such as financial literacy, interview skills, and collaboration among peers. I feel much more confident going into adulthood knowing these skills. An aspect of this program that was most valuable was the hands-on work experience. I learned a lot from being in a workplace setting and engaging with co-workers, the kids, and their parents at the summer camps. I feel that my skills of communication and leadership have grown from the start of summer to the end of the program. I really enjoyed the program and the experience I've gotten from it. I'm really excited to use the skills that I've learned through this program in other opportunities.
