“It prepares me for things [that] school doesn’t prepare me for.”

I loved how there were many different types of activities but my favorite one was the swipe hat.

“I learned more about my environment: what I would need to do in college, about my future, and how I can help out my community.

“Hats & Ladders was open about gap years and environmental justice… things the new generations have become interested in.

I loved that it wasn’t vague, it wasn’t focusing on one main thing, it had a widespread of positions in jobs, majors in colleges, just many things, having many choices feels great and Hats & Ladders did that.
