Message From The Founder

Growing up in a system-impacted household profoundly shaped who I am and how I view the world. Through engagement with my community, I came to recognize the barriers that formerly incarcerated and system-impacted young people face when pursuing higher education. I believe young people already have the passion, talent, and potential to achieve their goals; what they often lack are financial resources and support. This understanding inspired my work to create pathways that make higher education more accessible and equitable. My goal is to empower young people to pursue their passions by expanding financial literacy and increasing access to educational opportunities they need to not just survive but thrive.  - Kiara Price
