“It was so hard not to go to class, it was really fun. They taught us how to sail and row, and how to work the ropes course. Working with bigger groups, getting out of my shell and thinking out loud helped me a lot.”

“Backpacking and boat building…. how we weren’t going to be in a classroom all

-Jessica Hernandez
“GOAL helped me open up to people that I usually wouldn’t. And it opened my eyes
