And I'm like, wow, I think I kind of did something with that.
Yeah, thank you.
So PeerForward, formerly known as College Summit, started in 1996, a little bit before then from our predecessors here in D.C.
And what we learned is that we were actually just helping people with their college applications at first.
They were bright young folks at a community center.
And it was like, hey, you should go to college.
Like,
I went to college.
You should go.
And what we found is they all applied to college and they all went.
It was like, this is cool.
Let's run a workshop.
And the workshop was focused on helping them with their essays, helping them get together a college list, you know, from like some very reputable individuals to support them that they never had access to.
But then also tapping into their why.
Like, why should you show up?
Why is it important for you to know that you're worthy?
And so those are the three elements.
I can help you with the transactional stuff, but I need you to believe in yourself as well.
And that Oedipus, when we started, started like running like wildfire.
What we found is that while we were helping those students, they were going back and helping their friends.
