My Personal Journey
As a first-generation student, I know how hard it can be to navigate college without guidance. Mentors believed in me and helped me find my way to Harvard. That support changed my life, and now I am committed to paying it forward through Journey Forward Mentoring, where I serve on the board.
Journey Forward provides one-on-one mentorship and postsecondary support for Dallas students from low-income households. These students are bright, capable, and simply need someone in their corner. With less than 20% of Dallas ISD graduates leaving high school college and career ready, the need is urgent.
Your gift, no matter the size, helps us match students with caring mentors, offer career and college advising, and provide stipends to ease the path to graduation. Together, we can open doors and change lives.
Please consider joining me in supporting Journey Forward Mentoring this North Texas Giving Day.
The Urgent Need
In Dallas, students from low-income households face a staggering gap in college and career readiness support. On average, public high school students receive only 38 minutes of college and career advising throughout their four years. Less than than a third of Dallas students will ultimately obtain a college degree or technical certificate.
Our Solution
Through Next Gen Mentoring, students are matched with mentors who guide them through high school and explore college and career options. After graduation, our Edge program provides ongoing support with coaching, advising, community events, and even a semester stipend — helping students stay on track to earn their degree or credential.
Join Our Cause
Join us in making a lasting impact. We believe students should shape their own futures, and our role is to equip them with the tools and guidance to do so. By building long-term relationships that extend beyond high school, we empower students to thrive in college, career, and life — and inspire the next generation to follow.
