How We Impact the Community
If Given a Chance empowers resilient high school students in Napa County who have faced extraordinary challenges to transform their lives through education.
We understand that education is a powerful catalyst for change. We offer resources for both high school and college students including college counseling, life-skills training, mental health support, career counseling, and financial assistance to ensure student success.
Our impact is profound. We have witnessed remarkable transformations and academic milestones as students navigate the challenges of obtaining a college degree or completing a technical program, ultimately securing job opportunities and experiencing an improved quality of life.
We recently celebrated fourteen high school seniors entering college, while enrolling ten juniors into our program. We also provide a comprehensive program that supports our 26 college students in their academic pursuits.
Help us champion these remarkable young individuals, breaking the cycle of adversity and fostering contributions to our community.
