SWAG (Students With Awareness & Goals) is Back!

SWAG (Students With Awareness & Goals) is in session!
We’re super happy to be alongside our school partners as we announce we are back! We’ve been in a virtual setting for the past year and a half it feels so good to be back in person. 👏
The students at University Preparatory Science & Math High School are really enjoying learning about:
+ goal setting
+ decision making
+ healthy relationships

We are more than excited to be able to reach out to these students in person, and to be face to face once again.
