“Thank God I [started the after school program]. I used to go to school, go home … I hated that.… It helped a lot because I started poetry, and [staff] keeps pushing me to keep doing more. I would have given up a long time ago. They push you forward education-wise too … like she really wants me to graduate.” — Focus Group Report
