“My favorite memory of Liberty's Promise is the team atmosphere. My program officer was there to help you grow and achieve as a team. Liberty's promise assisted me in embracing my background, giving me confidence and the tools needed to continue my education after high school. They helped us learn about different scholarships and resources available to us as students from different backgrounds. “

“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.”

“I decided to attend LP’s after-school program because I didn’t want to go home right after school. At that time, my family and I were living in a basement and LP became a safe space that I could go to after a long day of school. “

“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.”
