Chrissie

In summer 2019, Chrissie joined Go Project as a shy 8-year-old who preferred to blend into the background. As time passed, though, she found herself active and immersed in the educational opportunities provided.​

Go Project played a pivotal role in Chrissie’s transformation by supporting her academic growth and helping her secure a spot on the honor roll. Through this journey, she blossomed into a confident and self-assured individual.​

Participating in Go Project’s activities, such as field trips, provided new experiences and built a bridge for her to consistently interact with peers and mentors. This helped her overcome her initial shyness and discover new capabilities.​

Today, Chrissie is a confident individual, eager to embrace new challenges. Her journey with Go Project has been transformative; unlocking her potential and instilling a love for learning.
