Why New Foundations?
"NFCS provided me opportunities to create relationships with teachers, counselors, and other staff which would allow me to learn from their experiences. This has stuck with me through college as I’ve built relationships. I’ve learned how to ask for help when I need it and how to grow professionally as well."
