“Before First Serve, my family couldn’t
afford groceries. But as a mentor with First
Serve, I now work full time at a daycare
center. I love my job. First Serve also helped
me in my pursuit of college by surrounding
me with support from people who believed
in me. They also helped pay for my
schooling as well, which was a big help.
Before First Serve, I was not going to go to
college. If it wasn’t for First Serve I would
have been probably working at McDonalds.
“Before First Serve, no one payed close enough to
the children academically, but now that First Serve is
here, the mentors love the idea of college.
If it wasn’t for First Serve my concern would be for
what comes next for the students and their plans for
their futures. The area that First Serve has helped
them most has been regarding their education, and
building relationships."
What I appreciate most about First Serve is their friendship and understanding. They
truly care for people, and you don’t see that very much today.”
