What a day! 🎉 Yesterday's TRIO Launch Pad workshop was a full house, and we loved every minute of it. Students learned how to build a resume, explore scholarship opportunities, sharpen job readiness skills, and get a handle on financial literacy.

A huge thank you to Mamas Unidas LR and the UCA OT Department for helping make this workshop happen, and to every parent and student who showed up and showed out. We see you, and we're so proud of you!
