Student Voices:
"LFA gave me a community before I even stepped into my first class."
"The research seminar helped me see myself as a scholar for the first time"
"LFA isn't just a program-it's a community that pushes you to grow."
"In LFA there're people to support you and that care for you when you ever feel alone or isolated. Everyone is so friendly, and I always make friends whenever I go to CADSS or have someone to eat with when I see another LFA scholar."
Parent testimonials:
“Just picked Sam up and can I just say that I don’t know what magic you and your team worked on this guy but he was like a different person when he got in the car. I watched him walk in such a self-assured way to the car and when he got in the first thing he said was “I feel so confident now.” ((Insert praise hands here))
"My husband and I attended CAL in the late 80s and we have both been saying that we wish we’d had similar support there then. So from the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU. You have no idea what it meant to hear Sam say those words: I feel so confident now. Please convey our absolute gratitude to your team on our behalf; you all are THE BEST. And please don’t hesitate to reach out if our family can support your good work in any way."
