Peer Animators - College Students are part of the solution for High Schools

We had a young person recently introduce herself, "I am a senior who goes to a 'failing school' where I am asked to succeed."

In the audience was a College Sophomore who had graduated from that same school. "Look at me! I'm making it. Like to join me?"

They spoke afterwards. The High School Senior had no role model in her family. She didn't know how to get started. She was carry a 3.0 and wasn't sure if it was good enough.

This just happened in November. I'll keep you posted. But I can tell you this. The College Sophomore is a Peer Animator and was true to the meaning of the name - animator. The Senior is inspired to make it work!

Do you want to be a Peer Animator? Do you know anyone who does? Give us a call (773.265.5806) and ask for Van!
