Meet your Facilitators

Project Success Facilitators develop long-term relationships with students, help them ignite success from within, express their voices, and provide them with many unique and meaningful experiences – all without judgment. They are there to listen, to encourage, to lend support, and to suggest practical steps toward reaching each student’s goals. Facilitators primarily focus on our in-class workshops, but you might see them out and about supporting our other programs as well!
