Our Community Believes in Us
Here Is What They Are Saying
“SHINE has vision, determination, and follow-through. They are forward-thinkers and hard workers. They have a heart for the younger students who may lack opportunities that other students have, and they desire to provide that for them"
Claudia HootenRetired Teacher
“Driven by an ever-present need to do what is right, SHINE goes above and beyond to serve our community, and even the world at large. They don't allow themselves to be distracted or impeded by obstacles to their commitment to our
community. They creates opportunities and experiences for others when there are none."
Mackenzie MennucciSchool Counselor
“Working with SHINE brought about one of the most incredible years of my life. The educational programs that SHINE has built and led are invaluable. They sparked creativity in kids and inspired them to get involved in school. "
