Celena Garcia

Scholar Ambassador @Thrive Scholars

Thrive Scholars is a six year college and career success program. As a scholar I will/have participated in six week residential summer academies at Amherst College and the University of Chicago the summer before junior year and senior year. At summer academy scholars engage in math and writing instruction for 8 hours a day and participate in College Access workshops weekly. Additionally, throughout the year scholars meet monthly with their College Access Manager and meet deadlines for monthly deliverables. As a Thrive Scholars Ambassador I also have the opportunity to attend events and represent Thrive Scholars.
