I used to be super shy and kinda scared to talk in front of people, but this program? It's changed that. I feel heard, and it's like my opinions actually matter. It's pretty awesome to finally find a place where I can speak up.
“
This program isn't just about doing homework; it's about growing up together. We share stories, dreams, and sometimes even fears. It's a space where being real is valued more than being perfect, and I love that

Homework used to be this huge monster waiting for me after school. Now, with the club, it's not so bad. We tackle it together, and I've learned so many cool tricks to make it easier. Plus, it's way more fun doing it with friends
“
The group allows me to be myself and be free.

Love to play games and do group activities with my friends. I also like that I make new friends

I can share my opinions and people can listen
