Testimonials
Project Rebound has been instrumental in my collegiate success. It does more than
offer support and guidance; it creates a community of belonging where those of us
with shared experience can network, build each other up, and collaborate on initiatives
that continue the work of providing resources and opportunities for the students who
come after us.
James Tompkins, CSU Bakersfield, PsychologyThis program has impacted me in such a way that it has given me hope that once I graduate
this program I will be able to find work regardless of my past criminal background.
My goals and aspirations are to take my degrees and bring rehabilitation, reform,
and de-criminalization programs to the city of Shafter and work with homeless populations
that struggle with limited resources. By getting this education, I will have the knowledge
to go out into the world and apply it to my goals and passion.
