Niles’s Story

Light the way for the next generation of Summer Searchers.

“After college, Summer Search and I found each other again, and again, and again. From connecting me with mentors after college, to allowing me to become a mentor myself to other Summer Search students, this organization has continued to provide opportunities to grow.”
