Right now, students are deep in it—hiking through rain, sharing soggy granola, navigating rough waters, and even tougher conversations. They’re tired. They’re stretched. And they’re discovering what they’re made of. From the field, we hear things like: ✨“𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘬. 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥.” ✨“𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦—𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘩𝘰𝘸, 𝘐’𝘮 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵.” This is what growth looks like. And it’s possible because of people like you. Your support helps students push through the hard moments—the very moments where confidence, resilience, and self-belief begin to take root.
