“I would have never been able to start my not-for-profit project if I didn’t learn the skills that I learned at Shad, if I didn’t gain the confidence I did, and if I didn’t meet the people that I met. It really was a life-changing experience.”

“It was awesome to meet so many different students from different parts of the country. Everyone had different experiences, and we were able to share that with each other and learn from each other, especially with all the group work and collaboration.”
