What Are Parents Saying?

"Importance of knowing how to fill out job applications, researching colleges for the right fit, finding their true self in communication with socialization skills for life. The program brought accountability, imagination, and responsibility of what the future can hold for them by staying focused. This encouraged my child to start making jewelry."

"My daughter attended a class over Spring Break and has provided a lot of feedback regarding needing to take on much more responsibility as a graduating senior, becoming more independent, and going full force after her goal of becoming a Travel Nurse. She says that Daphne created a space for her to be much more focused on the tasks at hand, better ways of communicating and team building with other students. She also states there was great information provided to assist her with resources needed to pursue goals she wishes to achieve. What an amazing opportunity for her. Thank you so very much for choosing her!"

"Yes, especially for my daughter. She is not a in the front person but this program made her speak in front of people she didn't know and now she is confident for an interview."

"My kids shared a lot with me things they never knew about interviewing each day they learned something new."
