HEAR FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS

“My mentor was life-changing and I am beyond happy to have established the professional relationship we have. I know we’ll stay in touch because I still have so much to learn from him and hopefully I continue to (as he said) give something back to his own journey through my growth and learning. I’m positive he went above and beyond the mentorship role and duties to provide the best for me.”

Efrain, 21 yrs old

 

“I'm beyond grateful for PCU. I've learned so much over the past four and a half months and I have already started implementing some of that knowledge into my everyday life (i.e. I'g mint.com to track my budget, using my credit differently, and I've started thinking about loans for cars and homes with what I've learned through our curriculum).”

David, 20 yrs old

 

“PCU is incredible and is providing me what I have been looking for. A program that help teach students like me about financial literacy. I am super thrilled to be a part of the program and to get the opportunity to have a mentor, learn from successful people of color, and develop my own skills to succeed. I feel PCU is really helping get closer towards my passion.”

Kizito, 20 yrs old

 

“I am exceptionally pleased with my mentorship pairing. Devon has already supported me a lot in our little time together and I am looking forward to getting into the gritty information”
