Celebrate Success, 

 Pay it Forward 

 2019 ALUMNI CHALLENGE 

ABOUT THE CHALLENGE

The Alumni Challenge celebrates accomplishments, taps into expertise and recognizes the pay-it-forward spirit of our Fellow and Mentor Coach alumni during the month of June.


We will highlight a component of ANY's Alumni Program each week and end the month with #PayItForwardWeek, a fundraising drive to support future cohorts of first-generation college students.

STORIES

A First-Generation College Family Across the Country

Hear how Fellow alumni built connects across ANY's program sites and took advantage of the national ANY network -- truly a first-generation college family across the country.

Hear from Two Cross-Site Mentor Coaches

Not only do our dedicated volunteers build a strong one-on-one mentoring relationship with students, but they also support each other and connect with volunteers across the national ANY community. We talked to two Mentor Coach alumni about how they built and maintained community at ANY, even after relocating to new cities.

Technology, Film and Freelancing — Oh My!

The world of work is rapidly changing. In our third installment of stories for the 2019 Alumni Challenge, we spoke with three ANY alumni who are at the forefront of these changes in technology, media and the arts.
