This summer, she dove right into our Summer Program, showing up to every lesson with energy, curiosity, and a big smile.

In what ways has TCCI changed your life?
Patricia’s time with TCCI has been full of growth, connection, and memorable experiences—but she says it best herself:
“The Children’s Collective has changed my life in some really good ways, like when I first got here they had really good food—better than what they serve at school! I have also enjoyed the people I’ve met along the way.”
Her words capture the warmth of our programs: a place where young people feel supported, valued, and connected—not just through services, but through relationships that last.
What else makes them so spectacular?
It’s always a joy to have Patricia involved in our youth services. Her upbeat personality lights up the room, and she has a natural way of connecting and communicating with her peers. Whether we’re diving into fun activities or tackling complex topics, Patricia consistently shows an impressive level of intelligence and curiosity. Beyond her academic strengths, she demonstrates strong moral values—leading by example and inspiring those around her.
