“JMG is my family forever.”
Arsene Badose’s story is a testament to the transformative power of JMG’s continuum of support. Arsene faced the myriad of challenges that come with the collegiate experience. However, with bridging from his JMG High School Specialist, Michelle Bourne, and then with the guidance and support of his JMG College Success Specialists, Randy Inosencio and Carlo Bufano, Arsene navigated his way to success.
“I’m actually going to college. I was accepted.”
Victoria Boone was the first person in her family to ever step foot on a college campus as a student. Victoria said, “JMG has changed and shaped my life in ways I can’t even explain. They believed in me when it felt like no one else did.” Victoria was able to use JMG Emergency Funds when she needed them and had the support of her JMG Specialist, Tara Gray, every step of the way.
