Every month, we’re proud to acknowledge the academic accomplishments of our students and alumni. Many enter our program facing immense challenges, but leave equipped and empowered to pursue their dreams. In May 2025, one of our alumni—who wishes to remain anonymous—graduated with their master’s degree from Columbia University. We want to take a moment to celebrate this student’s remarkable achievement and express our heartfelt excitement for all that lies ahead.
This milestone is a powerful reminder of why our work matters. It reaffirms the importance of investing in the professional and personal development of system-impacted youth. When students are given the right tools and support, there’s little that can stand in the way of their success.
