“Me and my family were going through a really rough time financially. My mom and I were, and still are, doing everything we can raise my little brothers. I needed to find a way to build up enough experience and skills to help me do well in a stable job, so I could continue to provide for my family.” - Caleb

“I think the most important thing I’ve learned here is the power of connection, community, and empathy. Every idea and/or action comes from an outside influence. I think that sharing in every sense of the word is vital; no one grows in a vacuum.” - Dayana
