Having been a part of the CV Summer Prep program for the past two years, last year as a teacher and now as the director, has reinforced my belief in the dynamic power that mentorship has for our youth. I am so proud of the work the CV Summer Prep instructors have done, their dedication of time to mentor our students, challenging our students to believe in themselves, and pushing our students to fulfill their potential. While I can go on about how great and necessary our program is, I will allow the voices of our youth and instructors speak for themselves as to the power of our program:

“In general, my experience here has changed me. There are things I didn’t care about before that I do now. I would like to thank my teacher for that. Although I may not always be cheerful and positive, all of the teachers were always there to lift our moods and give us positivity. All of the teachers also helped me focus on myself. Their work and motivation has helped me focus on my physical and emotional health and my intellectuality. It was really heartwarming having adults who showed that they cared about us and our well-being. I’m gonna miss having adults and leaders who make me feel this way.” ~Student, CV Summer Prep
