TESTIMONIALS
Being part of the Apex community is enjoyable because I can choose my own space. I feel glad to have friends from outside of school and family. I think I’ve changed since five years ago. It’s a real learning experience. I learned some disability actions; I wrote a poem about autism. I learned about myself and my mental health since I’ve joined Apex.”
— WILLIAM,
11th grade
I’m honestly proud of William every day. He seems to have a little more courage every time I see him, and I have no doubt that he’ll be able to tackle any problems that come at him.
Even if I wasn’t William’s mentor, I would see so much potential in him. I think he will make an incredible mentor in the future as well. There’s no doubt in my mind that Apex has given him a home.”
