❊ Testimonials
Changing lives, one conversation at a time.
Every visit is filled with stories, connections, and encouragement. Here's what some of our partner shelters and communities have shared about their experience with ProGrads.
After the visit, several of our students became much more engaged in school and continued using the journals and reading materials they received. The personal encouragement and one-on-one conversations helped children feel seen, valued, and more confident in themselves.

The technology and STEM activities sparked genuine excitement among our students. Weeks later, many were still talking about coding, science, and future careers. The mentorship conversations encouraged them to believe they were capable of achieving more than they imagined.
— Education Coordinator, Youth Home in Shanghai

What stood out most was the impact of the mentorship. Students became more motivated academically, participated more actively in learning, and continued using the educational resources long after the visit ended. The encouragement gave them confidence heading into the school year.

I've always been an empathetic person, and meeting children in shelters made me realize how much I had taken for granted growing up. Seeing talented, hardworking kids without access to the same opportunities inspired me to do something about it. I wanted to help create opportunities, build confidence, and show children that someone believes in them and their future.
