When Bryan C. was told by teachers that college wasn’t in his future, he didn’t accept that narrative.
And neither did his family or the community that stood beside them.
Through his involvement with Open Doors programming Bryan discovered what was already within him: strength, brilliance, and a deep drive to lead. With the support of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and a person-centered roadmap, Bryan was able to tap into those strengths, define his own goals, and take the lead in his educational journey.
“I’m so thankful for all of the support Open Doors has given me. Thank you so much for all the leadership skills I have learned from you guys”
- Bryan C.
This spring, Bryan graduated and he’s heading to Highline College, with a dream of transferring to the University of Washington. He was also accepted to UW Bothell, but chose to stay close to home close to community. Because Bryan knows what happens when people believe in you.
This is what your gift makes possible. Your support of Open Doors ensures families have the tools, resources, and relationships they need to thrive. It means students like Bryan get to chart their own paths and prove that they already have what it takes.
Be part of showing the next generation of leaders that they’ve had it within them all along.
