From Our Students

Peer Connections has improved my social life with new and diverse set of friends. I went winter shopping with one of my participants and it was a nice experience.

It is so organic and stress free, especially after building some trust and rapport. We had our October group connection at an Indian restaurant and it was so much fun.
