“What an amazing adventure! Before our Challenge Day we all had moments of frustration, setbacks, and adversity. I watched as the cohort came together and showed such leadership, strength and commitment to the goals they’ve set for themselves. When we reached the summit, an eruption of celebration filled with happiness, joy, and love echoed off the walls of Loowit. We all knew we had just accomplished something so special. We created a family of our own! I am so proud to be a part of it and my heart is full of the memories.”

“The mission and impact that CultureSeed is focused on providing for youth is truly inspiring and powerful. The youth demonstrated their ability to be leaders. I felt empowered and inspired to continue the work I am doing. As a volunteer/mentor I was reminded of the youthfulness within me. I grew and gained life skills along with these amazing individuals.”
