WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING
“Grow Your World has helped me come out my shell and open up more to my teachers.” - An 8th grade participant
“I have anxiety and participating in this program has taught me techniques to deal with anxiety and keep myself calm.” - A 9th grade participant
“As Latino parents, the program has helped us a lot, because we don’t know the language. It’s a barrier for us; there are times that we don’t know how to help our kids with the basics, like homework. They have helped us a lot with tutoring and they’ve motivated the kids and they’ve motivated us as parents too. I’m very happy with the whole program and all the staff is very friendly. I especially like it because they speak both languages. I want more families to participate and to know what this program offers: they are great things for the kids and for us. We are more than thankful for this program.” - A parent (translated from Spanish)
“You can do your homework that you don’t know how to do, and the teachers teach you about careers and what you can be as a professional. It is very different: students learn from teachers and teachers learn from students. I really like Grow Your World because it’s very friendly and they make sure we learn something new every time we're together.” - A 5th grade participant and an 8th grade participant
