“LP provided a safe space to be with like-minded people. Like many foreigners in high school, I was concerned about my spoken English and my accent to some extent. But in LP I felt that I could express myself freely, which eventually lead me to gain confidence to speak in my regular classes. Plus, I met people that I now consider my closest high school friends. I remember having a blast every time we met!”

“I am currently working as a dentist in Washington, DC, providing affordable dental care to underprivileged children in the DC area. Also, I take my two young kids to that same library where I did my first internship.”

“Liberty’s Promise was really helpful as I navigated the complexities of accessing college while being undocumented. The program connected me to incredible mentors and leaders in my community that allowed me to see different versions of who I could be in the world.”
