Guided Educational Counseling

We're incredibly proud to see former GuidED Consulting client Austin Omin making such a meaningful impact on the world.

After graduating from John Jay High School, Austin spent five months on the Thai-Burma border helping provide access to life-saving medical care for some of the world's most vulnerable communities. Now, he's sharing his inspiring story and the lessons he learned along the way.

Join Austin on Tuesday, July 14, from 6–8 PM at The Boro Café & Market to hear about his experience, learn about the work of the HFA-BCMF Forever Fund, and discover how you can help support this important mission.

It's amazing to see young people turn compassion into action—and Austin is doing exactly that.

Thank you to my client who took time to make this beautiful plaque. Going on the wall iver my station!
