“I help facilitate a class through DownCity Design called “Design Your Life”. It provides high school students with the skills to think like a designer. We give them the conceptual tools they can utilize to break down future goals step by step in a way you would do with a design project.

The mentors I have at CV inspire me to keep helping students and give back to a community that helped me grow.” – Anthony A.
