We were honored to have Lisa and Tie as our guest speakers at last week’s Encinitas Rotary meeting. They gave a great presentation on how Project Next prepares high school seniors for life after graduation by helping them identify their strengths, explore trade and college pathways, and navigate post-secondary planning while still in school.

Thank you, Lisa and Tie, for visiting us and making a difference in the lives of North County youth!
