What people have to say

My experience with DS4Y wasn’t easy, but I found that when you put in effort, time, and energy, everything falls into place. As a teen mom, joining this program meant creating a schedule to balance my responsibilities and studies. I realized that you can’t focus on one thing and leave the rest behind. Through this program, I’ve gained so many valuable skills. It has shown me that with commitment, I can build a better future for myself and my child

Balancing life as a teen mom and student is no easy task, but I'm proud of how far I've come. Thanks to Impact Hub, I can now support myself, leave my child in a safe and comfortable space, and pursue my dreams. Every day, I gain new skills networking, troubleshooting, even learning to fix and operate phones. The support system here has given me confidence and resilience, showing me that no matter the challenges, I can create a better future for myself and my child.
