Keeping Alumni Connected to Henry Street and Each Other

Where Are They Now: Meet Georgia Soares, University of Southern California ‘16

"I had just moved to the United States from Brazil when my high school history teacher recommended that I enroll into Expanded Horizons College Success program at Henry Street Settlement. It was there I received the kind of support needed to prep for the SATs, familiarize myself with the college application process, and go on my first college tour. I also had a mentor at the time, Ben, who instilled in me a desire to pursue my passion for literature. During the summer, I would do community service at NYC public parks and squares through a Henry Street initiative. At the age of 16, on my first anniversary of having moved to the United States, I was awarded both the Posse Foundation and Abrons/Aranow Scholarships. I would go on to attend college at the age of 17 and graduate at 20. So, without Henry Street preparing and exposing me to a host of opportunities, attending college would have been much harder to execute."
