“I learned that in order to become resilient, I needed to develop a Web of Support with at least 5 caring adults who could guide me. If I had one wish, it would be that every kid could learn about the Web of Support and feel like they belong.”
Imagine students empowered by confidence, ready to achieve their dreams, and equipped to handle life's challenges.
