Dream Accepted
For years, this student dreamed of becoming a teacher but doubted their future due to low grades and lack of support. That changed through mentorship with a Communities in Schools Student Support Coordinator. With personalized academic planning, encouragement, and accountability, the student improved their GPA and built the confidence to apply to college. Today, they’re officially accepted to Whitworth University—and serving as a peer mentor to others on a similar path.
