How has AHEAD helped you?
“The speakers help me know what kind of jobs are out there, and what to expect.”
“The mentoring makes me focus on things I need to work on. I like to have that extra push.”
“I didn’t think I’d go to college but now I know I can and I plan to. And I can find a way to pay for it.”
“I’ve always had good grades but they pushed me to do better and become a leader.”
“There weren’t any interesting clubs at our school so we started our own and now we have about 30 members. I would have never done that without Ahead.”
“I can’t believe how much time I used to waste putting off homework. Now I get it done faster and have more time to spend on other things.”
“I would have never applied to Stanford or Berkeley. I was thinking really small before.”
“After senior year they put me in touch with a service project in Lithuania. That was the greatest experience of my life.”
