“It prepares me for things [that] school doesn’t prepare me for.”
“I loved how there were many different types of activities but my favorite one was the swipe hat.“
“I learned more about my environment: what I would need to do in college, about my future, and how I can help out my community.“
“Hats & Ladders was open about gap years and environmental justice… things the new generations have become interested in.“
