Alisha overcame social & economic obstacles to become the first member of her family to attend college. “I thank you for the opportunity, inspiration, motivation, direction and most of all the relentless passion that has helped me to discover my purpose.”

Jeff transformed a dead-end attitude to become a student leader in college. A welcome outcome from the future his parents saw for him when he was in high school. “We wanted to find a way to improve his self-esteem and his attitudes towards school. We knew the wrong educational experiences would cause him to crash and burn. Alternatives’ programs turned out to be just the ticket. Thank God for these programs”

Yasmine would not be defined by disabilities. “My daughter has Down Syndrome, but that is a non issue. Since she began Monart art classes almost three years ago her writing has improved so much it is no longer hard for her. She has a healthy self esteem and considers herself ‘an artist’. She is flourishing. Thank you Alternatives.”
