Education Program Bestows Positivity on More Than Just Students

GEAR UP not only makes a lasting impact on students’ lives. One facilitator says the program gave her a sense of purpose.

Sylvia Vargas said it’s more than just a job. 

“I have a purpose, that’s the best way I would put it. It makes me feel that I’m sowing a seed and I’m excited to see what comes out of it in four, five years,” said Vargas.
