“As a participant in INROADS College Links, I noticed the rich culture of youth from varying backgrounds. My senior year was an exciting time to become engaged with INROADS as I met lifelong friends with goals of pursuing similar paths in higher education. Additionally, I developed skills and knowledge in financial literacy. I hope to maintain the connections and bonds I have developed through the program.”

“INROADS gave me the correct mindset to attack any challenge the world gives me. One of my takeaways from INROADS is ‘my behavior is my responsibility.’ The program really emphasized accountability which resonated with me.”

“INROADS has given me the knowledge I need to feel completely ready for college. I have been homeschooled for the majority of my academic career, and I have not received a lot of college prep. With the knowledge that INROADS has provided, I have gained more confidence in having the tools I need to be successful in my college experience. I am deeply thankful to INROADS and cannot wait to continue my journey through college supported by the program.”
