Read More"As a facilitator, I loved participating in ProjectConnect! Over the course of a month and a half we established a tight-knit group of dorm residents that really became a great support community. The potential for ProjectConnect is huge: it aims to fix the communication gap in today's world between people from vastly different backgrounds, and ultimately make the world a better place. I was glad to have played a small role as facilitator for the program and hope the magic of ProjectConnect continues.”

Not only did it allow me to connect with the other students in groups I was facilitating, I became close with the other facilitators. I've seen the good ProjectConnect can do and felt it myself. All that to say, thank you! This program helped me during a hard time. ProjectConnect rocks!”

I'm going to be using the ProjectConnect program in my middle school work, as well as in my volunteer work (a theater class, and coaching the 7th and 8th grade lacrosse team). I often struggle with impostor syndrome and feel like I don't belong, but I felt very seen and heard at this training. Jessica is such kind facilitator- so open and warm."
