It was such an honor being recognized by PBHA (Phillips Brooks House Association) and receiving the SUP Impact Award at their 2019 Summer Urban Program Auction.
I am appreciative of the recognition of my work and am lucky that having an impact on our community is an expectation of my job. I want to recognize the impact and choices made by PBHA staff, students, and alumni every day. Everybody in this world deserves to become who they are supposed to become. It takes a village to really engage each one of us and understand that we all need different kinds of support. Your work and participation really speaks for communities who are under resourced, and you truly make a difference helping youth move forward. The world needs more of you, more than ever. Thank you for investing in hope and possibility and creating opportunity. Your participation in PBHA programs is an acknowledgment that everyone deserves the tools to explore their fullest potential. ... See MoreSee Less
