Student Artifact Collage

Students share their journey by uploading photos through our app, capturing moments of transformation from disconnected strangers to a united, collaborative team. These real-time images allow students to revisit their experiences and are shared with donors and supporters to showcase the impact of their contributions. The photos vividly illustrate the value of donor support, reinforcing the program's mission to foster connection and growth.

"Starting my Senior year I felt I knew all I needed to know about collaboration and teamwork. Often I’d find it would never work because of a lack of connection, time and motivation. I built a habit of working alone even in groups for my many classes as I would face team dynamics that never worked out, but that all changed for me. This new experience challenged my beliefs about teamwork. We all left our comfort zone and built a new team on a foundation of friendship and collaboration. It resulted in a team that achieved more in six weeks than I’ve done in some entire semesters of classes. Now as I graduate, I see what I’ve been missing out on. "– 2025 Summer Student

"These experiences pushed us out of our comfort zones and strengthened our team cohesion. I began seeing my teammates not just as coworkers, but as friends I could genuinely connect with. This shift improved both the quality and efficiency of our work, as our projects felt less like tasks and more like collaborative efforts."– 2024 Summer CHC App Team
