AMP UP students recommend for underclassman
I found a family in this group.
The AMP UP Program helped me work on getting my work done, making better choices, being more friendly, being a better person.
I will take away all we’ve heard and watched and continue to apply them to my life.
Some days are really hard being a student and trying to balance life. I know that there’s people that are always willing to support me both mentally and physically.
We empower entities with strategic solutions to elevate their goals and drive tangible growth and success.
