Improving access to higher education is a justice project of considerable importance, and one of increasing urgency. The JFY Al Teglia Scholarship program was built to help alleviate financial challenges for youth and their families as they embark on their education journey.

“I am pumped to continue exploring the fields of education, international development, and race and gender relations. JFY, thank you for helping me construct the first steps on my never-ending ladder toward success and prosperity."

“JFY is truly a beautiful program that is really looking to empower youth in their career journey, and I am beyond honored to have been one of those many lucky youth to be uplifted by JFY.”

“I want to extend my gratitude to you for leading the Interviewing workshop for FLY's Reentry youth. We are grateful for your time and effort in coaching better interviewing skills to help young people gain employment. Our participants shared that they felt much more professional after learning how interviews work."

“I'm writing to give special kudos to Carlos Zapata for the three workshops he gave at the Burlingame Public Library in April 2023. There was a neurodiverse student and another student who just had difficulty generally grasping some of the concepts in the workshop and Carlos was so patient with their requests for clarification, while also balancing the needs of the students who were grasping the concepts and ready to move forward with the materials."
