Testimonials from High School Principal

"Working with Slingshot the past two years has been game-changing for the college and career readiness (CCR) program here at Riverside High School. The IDEAS framework has given us a clear structure for our students to explore post-secondary options while completing their high school and beyond plan graduation requirements. The best part of working with Slingshot, however, has been the people. They worked with us weekly to modify the program to fit our specific needs. We are looking forward to a long partnership with Slingshot!"

Clint Hull, Principal, Riverside High School

"As a high school dedicated to supporting teen parents, we understand the challenges our students face in navigating their futures while balancing the responsibilities of parenthood. That's why we're immensely grateful for the partnership we've forged with Slingshot.

Slingshot isn't just an organization; it's a beacon of hope and empowerment for our students. The journey of self-discovery and career exploration can often seem daunting, especially for young parents who are already juggling multiple priorities. But Slingshot's framework has revolutionized the way our students approach this crucial question: "What do I want to do with my life?"

Instead of instilling fear and anxiety, Slingshot fosters resilience and confidence. By helping our students identify their unique skills and interests, Slingshot equips them with the tools to navigate their professional journey with clarity and purpose. Through the Slingshot class that takes place weekly, our students learn how to forge meaningful connections within industries they're passionate about, building a professional network that will support them every step of the way.

Thanks to Slingshot, our students no longer view their circumstances as obstacles; instead, they see them as opportunities for growth and success. With Slingshot's guidance, our teen parents are not just surviving—they're thriving, charting a course towards a future filled with passion, purpose, and endless possibilities."
