"The best thing about coming here is having a mentor, someone to talk to. I also enjoy participating in service-learning projects. Adelante is helping me reach my goals, and keeping me out of trouble. I want to thank the staff for taking time to get to know us and for spending time with us." - Chasity, Pinkleton, 16
