Both Deve and I thank you and your organization for all of your support that Deve was given while participating in your program. We want to personally thank Jenn for all of her support with Deve’s schooling, showing kindness and empathy with some of the things she was going through, and for being a great, all around mentor for her. We are thankful to have met her and wish her all the best in life.
Participant’s Guardian
I am so glad I met Linda through RSN. I feel very comfortable hanging out with her and feel like she is someone I can rely on when I am dealing with difficult feelings. She is someone who can understand certain things that other people might not be able. She’s helped me explore new hobbies and work through situations with family, friends, and relationships, and is always there to offer support! I am incredibly grateful to have her in my life.

Having a mentor is like having someone you can talk to about anything and they don’t judge. And joining the youth zooms makes me feel like i’m not alone.”
