“The Adopt-A-Student Program offers more than just a connection; it gives students a home away from home. From the comfort of a home-cooked meal to a supportive hug after a tough game, the program wraps students in a circle of care and encouragement. Knowing there’s a friendly face in the crowd cheering just for you can make all the difference. For me, beyond integrating more into the local community, the program also helped me create stronger ties with the other adopted students in my family, my adopted sisters. It’s a bubble of love and support that means the world when you’re far from home. I’m so grateful I took advantage of this opportunity, and I know the relationships I’ve built through Adopt-A-Student will last a lifetime.”
