  • “This program has been such a wonderful journey! It’s helped me grow not just in skills but also in finding my place in a new community. The leadership lessons were amazing, but the real magic was the friendships and connections I built along the way. It made me feel like I truly belong, and I’ll always be grateful for how supported and inspired I felt throughout the experience.”
