Sam didn’t see the value in education and disrupted class when he felt inadequate. Today he’s turning the corner and understanding if he wants to be a vet he needs to get good grades and address his gaps.

Marci and Viri have excellent English skills and help with translations in ESL class. But they do much more. Both continue to impact our execution across RISE’s three programs, making us more culturally sensitive to NFO families.
