Our Young People's Stories

Spencer McNeil
Project K Alumni

“If I didn’t do Project K, I actually don’t know where I would be. I was so lost, hanging out with the wrong people and was not happy in myself. Project K pushed me to do things I would never have done and opened doors to me finding a new level of myself, and finding my true potential.

I cannot recommend Project K enough - it taught me so much about life and myself.”

Sophie Ridley-Scott
Stars Alumni

“One of the most rewarding aspects of Stars has been the opportunity to mentor younger students. Being a mentor has allowed me to share my experiences and knowledge with others, helping them navigate the challenges they face transitioning into college.

It’s incredibly fulfilling to see the positive impact I can have on someone else’s life.”
