Success Stories
Academic Excellence
Through consistent tutoring and mentorship, Maria improved her math grades from a C- to an A+ in just one semester. She now helps tutor younger students and dreams of becoming an engineer.

Jake was shy and struggled with public speaking. Our leadership program helped him find his voice. He recently won the school's debate competition and plans to pursue law.
"THUMB KIDS gave my daughter the support she needed to believe in herself. The mentors didn't just help with homework - they helped her discover her potential."
