Help Gina raise money

Hello Fam & Friends! 

JCYC and JCYC College Access are extremely important to me. I first heard of JCYC as a John O'Connell High School student. An Advisor came into my class and provided a presentation that forever changed me; I was told I could attend College. Growing up, College never seemed like an option for me, given that I was growing up in a low-income home where neither of my parents or siblings graduated from high school. So when this Advisor started to support me intentionally, I began to see how important it is to have folks like my Advisor to uplift students and communities, turning dreams into realities. I knew I wanted to do the same thing; I wanted to help youth, like me and all youth, succeed. So in High School and College, I stayed connected with JCYC by applying for their scholarship, attending any workshops they provided, and contacting Admin to inquire about open positions. Fortunately, for my commitment and consistency, I was hired as a Part-Time Advisor with SFCAC while in College and then became a Full-Time Advisor with ETS after graduating from College. I have had the fantastic opportunity to be the Senior High School Educational Advisor, Associate Director, and now a Program Director -- That is because I genuinely believe our work changes lives...because it changed mine. JCYC is a strong, committed, dedicated, and intentional Organization that provides opportunities for so many youths and their families - I am a servant to my communities because of JCYC, and I am incredibly grateful for that. I will continue to instill JCYC's Missions/Values in my professional, personal, and children's life as I truly believe in them. Thank you, JCYC <3  Please donate (only if you can) to support scholarships for low-income, first-generation college students! If you'd like to run, register here!
