Testimonials

“Cindy is incredibly inspirational and honestly a highlight in my week. We have explored so many different topics and situations, and her maturity is astonishing. I think the more I learn from her, the more I can share with her about industries she hasn’t considered yet.”

— Liliana Diaz, Mentor with Space & Missile Defense, Lockheed Martin

“It was really rewarding to accomplish the goals I had set with my mentor in the beginning of the year and to share those accomplishments with her. It also really helped me see the bigger picture of my education and how I can work towards my future."

“Sydney and I focused on college research and different majors that interested her. She participated in various online college tours/info sessions, and we discussed the differences between schools. Now we are going to set up a phone call with a friend who studied neuroscience and works as an ABA Therapist. She is getting more excited about college and less stressed.”
