If Given A Chance
What We Do:
We select high school juniors who have experienced trauma, medical challenges or the effects of poverty, and provide counseling, life skills seminars, and assistance with college or vocational entrance requirements. Throughout their undergraduate college careers, we provide scholarships and personalized mentoring to ensure their success.
IGAC meets essential needs of vulnerable Napa County high school students who have experienced traumatic childhood events. We support opportunities to achieve emotional stability, to successfully get accepted into college or vocational training, to increase their earning power, and to have positive health outcomes.
Throughout their undergraduate schooling, we provide mentoring, life skills training, role models, and financial assistance for students who have made a commitment to complete a college degree or vocational training and who have set a course to reach their full potential.
