Alexia
"Before I had a mentor, I knew I wanted to go to college, but I didn't really know how to get there. Now, there’s someone to direct me. I can’t wait to go on to study business communications."
Alexia’s story is one of overcoming challenges and seizing opportunities. She will be the first in her family to attend college, setting an important example for her two younger siblings.

“What a great way to give back to the community – to help influence and shape the next generation of leaders.”
The moment Chris heard about a unique opportunity to help Salt Lake youth, he was sold. Volunteers were needed for mock interviews that would give high school students the chance to practice job preparation and interviewing skills. Chris responded to the call.
